About Janis
Janis Edralin, LPC, helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. She offers calm, straightforward support for moments of overwhelm and uncertainty. Her style focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life and on finding strengths the client already has.
Janis draws on 19 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She uses a collaborative approach and treats the person in the room as the expert on their life. Sessions aim to build clarity, increase motivation, and reduce distress through small, doable changes.
Her background includes work as an LPC mentor and as an adjunct professor and graduate student mentor in counseling. Janis has also held national leadership roles and engaged in international collaboration in corporate settings. These roles shaped her ability to listen across cultures and life stages.
Earlier experiences include Peace Corps service in Malawi and Mexico and training connected to music conservatories. Those years added a creative and adaptable edge to her clinical work. Outside therapy she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and reading literature and poetry.
People who meet with her can expect a respectful, practical partnership. Janis focuses on helping clients identify strengths, set realistic goals, and take steady steps toward a more meaningful life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, motivation challenges, and coping with loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form more secure ways of relating and communicating. It can be helpful for relationship struggles and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client to find their own solutions rather than imposing directions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. That choice is guided by the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also allows people who live outside the therapist’s region to connect, but confirm international details if relevant. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please check the current options before booking. Online sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins, steady weekly therapy, or for people who prefer not to commute, depending on the formats offered.
