01About Janis
Janis Edralin offers help for people dealing with addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely. Her work aims to help people find clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
Janis has 19 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, practicing in Texas. She draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical change rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Background and approach
Her background includes roles as an LPC mentor and adjunct professor. She also has international experience from Peace Corps service in Malawi and Mexico and has worked in corporate and academic settings. Those experiences shape a worldly, flexible perspective in her practice.
Janis often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas depending on the situation. She helps people notice what matters to them, challenge unhelpful thinking, and repair or understand important relationships. The aim is real skills and clearer choices, not just talk.
Outside of counseling, she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and reading poetry. Those interests inform a creative, disciplined approach to therapy. Reaching out is a first step, and Janis offers steady, practical support as people work toward meaningful change.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for stress, motivation challenges, and coping with grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and substance-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help people understand trust, communication, and closeness issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying out techniques, adjusting them, and prioritizing what brings the clearest benefit for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more reachable. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deep discussion. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, while chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or regular support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and keep momentum toward change.
