About Janice

Janice Carr is a licensed therapist who blends practical tools with a warm, attentive approach. She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and brings 18 years of clinical experience in Florida.

Background and approach

Janice helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She uses clear, direct methods so conversations stay focused and useful.

Sessions look at patterns that keep problems alive and teach ways to respond differently. Janice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to tailor each plan to the person in front of her.

Many clients come seeking help after major life changes, experiences of abuse, or when feeling stuck in loneliness or shame. Janice also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to gender identity or immigration stress.

She pays attention to family-of-origin dynamics and communication problems that affect daily life. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

She will listen, offer perspectives, and practice skills together in-session so new ways of coping can be used right away. Janice explains therapy steps plainly and checks in about what is or isn’t working.

Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Janice often blends the Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address relationship patterns and personal challenges. The Gottman Method focuses on understanding interaction patterns and building practical communication skills useful for intimacy-related stress and conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify values, and take small committed actions toward a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how those shapes current expectations and reactions in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of how Janice works. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - goals are set together and checked regularly so the approach can shift if something isn't helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for working through communication skills and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people send shorter updates and get support between longer sessions. These formats make it possible to continue work during moves, busy weeks, or when scheduling constraints arise.
