About Janice

Janice Carr is a licensed professional counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are facing grief, trauma, anxiety, and struggles with self esteem. Janice focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in daily life.

She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and emotionally-focused methods to address relationship and emotional concerns. Sessions usually center on understanding patterns, identifying small changes, and practicing new ways of coping. Janice pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and connections.

Her background spans work with people coping with mood differences, stress, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, identity concerns such as gender dysphoria, and the fallout from domestic or relationship violence. Her perspective aims to be direct and caring while keeping goals practical.

Janice brings nearly two decades of clinical work to each appointment and relies on clear tools clients can try between sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets priorities and pace. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are offered in English.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and building self esteem through action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional reactions; it helps people understand and change how they relate to others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own insights and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor the work to what feels most useful and realistic for the person’s life.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other commitments. It also supports using homework, brief in-between check-ins, and stepwise practice of new skills in daily routines with guidance from a licensed professional.
