Janice Loboda

Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in California who helps people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She draws on 15 years of experience supporting parents, professionals, and individuals facing addiction, grief, depression, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn right away.

She started working in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment and spent much time helping teenagers and families recover from addiction. That experience led her to private practice, where she supported parents dealing with family stress. She also assisted parents in advocating for their child at school, including help with 504 and IEP accommodations.

Janice has worked with employee assistance programs to address career stress, burnout, and workplace barriers. She helps people reconnect with a sense of purpose at work and in life. Her background includes supporting those with trauma, attachment concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.

Her methods include acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She uses client-centered and attachment-focused practices to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Janice prefers clear goals and practical tools so progress is visible between sessions.

People who come to her often want help with parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver stress, or first responder stress. She works in English and practices across many common life concerns while basing care on each person's goals and situation.

How core approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them. These methods are often useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so each plan fits the individual's situation and priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy life. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce commute time, and make it simpler to attend from work breaks or between errands. If someone needs help deciding whether online sessions will suit them, the therapist will discuss practical details during the matching and scheduling steps.
