About Janis
Janis Edralin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. Her work also addresses related issues such as attachment struggles, communication problems, codependency, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Janis uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions tend to focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as clearer ways to see patterns that keep problems going.
Her background includes long experience as a counselor and additional roles mentoring LPCs and teaching graduate students in counseling. She has worked in a variety of settings including international projects and corporate collaborations, and has hands-on experience supporting people in recovery from substance use concerns.
Janis frames the work as collaborative. She helps people identify strengths, clarify goals, and try structured strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. The therapist also integrates practical tools from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed.
Outside of clinical work she pursues outdoor activities and creative study, and brings that practical curiosity into sessions. To start, readers should confirm session formats before booking and use the site’s matching steps to schedule a first appointment.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Many of Janis's approaches translate to remote work in ways people can use in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. It is useful for worries, low mood, and habits linked to addictions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice accepting difficult feelings while taking committed action. It can be helpful for chronic stress, grief, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize how early connection styles affect current trust and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts exercises so they are practical between sessions. Clients can expect discussion, short practice tasks, and regular review of what is or isn’t working.
