About Janice

Dr. Janice Moran uses a warm, interactive therapy style focused on helping people build confidence and clearer boundaries. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 16 years of experience.

Janice talks plainly and works alongside clients to identify practical steps they can use day to day. Her goal is to help people heal old wounds, strengthen self-care, and find a steadier sense of self. She brings personal insight to conversations about identity and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Janice offers LGBT-affirming care and speaks from lived experience within the LGBTQ+ community. She also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and career or life transitions in straightforward sessions. Her approach combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.

She uses tactical exercises and collaborative planning to turn insights into actions. Sessions often include strategizing about boundaries, communication, and steps to reduce daily strain. Dr.

Moran also works with family and parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and topics like caregiver stress and fertility challenges. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, chronic illness, and forgiveness work. She is attentive to sensitive topics such as gender dysphoria, infidelity, and alternative sexual cultures.

Janice provides practical guidance about accessing local resources when needed and encourages clients to name values they want to live by. Her tone is direct but compassionate, aiming to make change feel possible and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. It helps people feel heard and supports work on identity, relationships, and self-worth. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change patterns that cause stress or anxiety. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a somatic approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Figuring out which method fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches collaboratively, and adjust based on what helps most. This shared process helps clients move from ideas to practical steps they can use between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical needs and to maintain consistent contact when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and plan next steps in ways that fit each person’s routine and pace.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
