About Janice
Janice Ruchlis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and grief. She also provides support around relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Janice brings steady experience and a practical focus to sessions so clients can find clearer steps forward.
Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive and behavioral tools. She uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people regulate emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Emotion-focused work and narrative elements are woven in to address trauma, low self-esteem, and complex life stories.
Janice has three decades of clinical experience in California and has worked with people from many nationalities. She pays attention to how identity, background, and life circumstances shape the problems someone brings. That attention helps tailor strategies to each person’s situation.
In sessions she aims for a practical yet reflective style. Conversations explore what led to current struggles and then move toward skills and experiments people can try between meetings. Therapy often mixes skill-building, emotion work, and slower story-focused exploration.
For people concerned about money and finances, Janice looks at how stress, beliefs, and relationship patterns affect financial choices. She helps clients connect their feelings and behaviors so they can make decisions that feel more manageable and aligned with their goals.
Attachment, skills, and emotion work online
Janice uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when trust, closeness, or repeated conflicts get in the way of clear decision making. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve choices.Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are useful when strong feelings lead to impulsive money decisions, relationship fights, or burnout. Together, these approaches focus on practical changes and on understanding the emotional roots of behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and daily life. Sessions are shaped around what the person hopes to change and what feels most useful in practice.
