About Janice

Janice Lorraine Browning is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings five years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and depression. Janice aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She encourages the first step toward getting support and acknowledges how difficult that can feel.

Janice uses straightforward, collaborative techniques in sessions. She listens closely to understand each person’s daily life and priorities. From there she works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and to try practical strategies that fit real routines. These can include small behavior changes, ways to shift unhelpful thinking, and steps to rebuild motivation.

Her approach blends client-centered work with structured methods. Client-centered therapy shapes sessions around the person’s pace and values. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify patterns of thinking that get in the way and offer concrete ways to change them.

Janice also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people find momentum and build on what’s already working. For experiences tied to trauma, she uses trauma-focused methods to address upsetting memories and emotional reactions while keeping focus on current coping.

She speaks English and practices in California. Janice asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. She notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Janice’s approaches work online

Client-centered therapy places the person’s priorities at the center of each session. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify values and goals. This approach is useful for anyone who needs space to talk and to be heard before deciding on next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into small parts and tries specific strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and practical skills for coping with daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping, and adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between appointments with brief check-ins when suitable. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to fit a client’s day-to-day routine and needs.
