Janice Harbin, LPC

Janice Harbin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She began working with children and adolescents and for the past ten years has focused mainly on adults. Janice combines practical conversation with steady support to help people manage daily thoughts and habits that get in the way of living well.

She has substantial experience in outpatient mental health settings and has collaborated with psychiatric services when needed. In recent years Janice has worked extensively with people facing addiction and served on a drug court treatment team for three years. She views addiction as a symptom and looks for the underlying problems driving it.

Janice uses several common therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. Her work includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and motivational techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices. She aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build small routines that make daily life easier.

Her practice also covers many concerns parents and adults often bring, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, sleeping and eating issues, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related worries, and career or life transitions. Janice mentions a faith background and the role of prayer in her life, which she may discuss if it is relevant to a person’s goals.

Outside of the office she enjoys biking, walking, and family time with her children and grandchildren. She describes therapy as a partnership and offers straightforward guidance to help people move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Janice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods that can fit well into remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts appear, which often helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes. CBT looks at specific thought patterns and routines and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, useful for depression, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship, offering a space to talk through grief, relationship worries, or recovery from trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the kinds of problems you want to address, then recommend techniques that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
