About Janis
Janis Edralin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience supporting people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and codependency concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to help people find clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming. Janis aims to help clients spot strengths, rebuild motivation, and make choices that match their values.
Her style is collaborative and grounded. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works together with them to set goals. Sessions focus on practical skills, exploring patterns, and building small routines that make daily life more manageable.
Janis blends several well-known approaches to fit the needs of each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward meaningful change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship dynamics. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered listening also shape her work when helpful.
Her background includes serving as an LPC mentor and adjunct professor in Texas. She has international experience from Peace Corps service and corporate collaboration, plus a creative arts perspective from conservatory training. These varied roles inform her practical, flexible approach.
Outside of counseling she enjoys hiking, biking, and fencing, and she brings that same discipline into clinical work. Reaching out is a strong first step, and Janis offers steady support as people begin to sort things out and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can help with motivation, codependency patterns, and moving forward after loss or addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, mood changes, and habit patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janis will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean blending ACT and CBT skills, adding attachment-focused conversations, or practicing DBT-style coping techniques depending on what helps most.

It also supports shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, and it can accommodate people who need quieter surroundings or less screen time. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and homework to work in remote sessions, helping clients use skills between meetings and build steady progress.
