About Janice

Janice Withrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing relationship and family struggles, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients coping with stress, career questions, sleep problems, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Janice draws on 17 years of clinical experience to listen, ask practical questions, and help people find steps forward.

Background and approach

She uses a person-centered way of working that focuses on where someone gets stuck. Sessions emphasize clear, manageable goals. Janice helps people identify thoughts, feelings, bodily reactions, and personal beliefs that shape how they respond to stress and relationships.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address thoughts and actions, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation, and attachment-based ideas to understand connection patterns. Janice also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques when they fit the situation. Across sessions she encourages practical change as well as personal reflection.

That might mean learning new communication habits, building routines for better sleep, or practicing coping skills for mood swings and anxiety. The focus is on simple, doable steps the person can try between sessions. Janice worked for many years with people facing complex medical, developmental, and life-transition challenges.

She is the owner of Inner Door Consulting, LLC. Her Georgia license is GA LPC LPC005442 and she conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people understand and shift long-standing interaction styles that affect relationships and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janice works with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will suggest options, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps the individual make progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction when that is helpful, while phone sessions can be simpler when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, focused support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life and to practice new skills in real time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
