About Janisia

Janisia Evans is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and trauma-related struggles. She works directly with people facing family conflicts, self-esteem challenges, life changes, and post-traumatic stress. Her style is supportive and practical, aimed at helping someone take the first steps toward change.

Janisia emphasizes that each person knows their own story best. She listens with curiosity and helps clients build on strengths they already have.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of theories. Her training and five years of experience inform a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques are used where they fit the client’s needs.

That means sessions may include looking at patterns, reshaping unhelpful thoughts, or identifying small goals to try between meetings. Janisia often supports people coping with divorce, communication problems, codependency, addiction concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also addresses women’s issues, attachment struggles, and forgiveness work.

The focus is on practical change and emotional understanding. People who seek her help can expect a steady, empathetic presence and an emphasis on actionable steps. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and help clients gain confidence in handling family or relationship challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, fosters a trusting relationship, and helps people tap into their own strengths to face family or relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and action-oriented, and can help with mood issues, anxiety, and problems that come up after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or for those who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life while still getting regular support.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
