    About Janice

    Janice Lorraine Browning is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She uses a supportive, person-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find practical next steps.

    She brings five years of professional experience to sessions and emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space. Clients can expect to be listened to and to have their concerns taken seriously. The therapist encourages small, realistic changes that build confidence over time.

    Janice draws on several approaches depending on what a person needs in the moment. She uses techniques from motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also blends client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person's priorities.

    Cognitive behavioral strategies are used when thoughts and behaviors need practical tools and structure. Solution-focused ideas help set concrete goals and steps for progress. Trauma-focused elements are available when past events continue to affect daily life.

    Her work suits people facing life transitions, relationship strain, feelings of isolation, or challenges with self-love and women’s issues. Janice aims to make the first step less daunting and to support steady progress at a manageable pace.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Janice commonly uses motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change or who want clearer personal reasons to act. This approach focuses on listening and asking questions that help someone weigh options and build motivation.

    She also works from a client-centered perspective, which means sessions follow the client's priorities and pace. The therapist aims to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through concerns and decide what matters most to them.

    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used when practical tools are helpful. CBT offers short-term strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out whether motivational interviewing, client-centered methods, CBT, or a mix fits best based on each person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow people to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered, and then choose times that help you stay consistent with your goals.
