About Janis
Janis Edralin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience supporting people facing addiction, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help people find their next steps. Her work aims to reduce overwhelm and bring clearer direction when life feels stuck.
Janis draws on Jungian therapy alongside practical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral tools. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, naming problems, and building small, realistic changes.
Background and approach
She encourages people to connect with their values and try new ways of coping that fit their daily life. Her background includes doctoral study in counselor education and supervision from St. Mary’s University and nearly two decades as an LPC in Texas.
She has experience in chemical dependency work and a long history mentoring students and colleagues in the field. That mix of academic and hands-on work shapes an approach that balances insight with skill building. Janis also brings an international outlook from Peace Corps service and corporate collaboration abroad, and she uses creativity from music and movement to enrich sessions when helpful.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and reading poetry. Reaching out is a practical first step, and she offers steady, collaborative support as people work toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

Online support
Approaches and online options for meaningful change
Janis uses Jungian therapy to help people explore personal meaning, symbolism, and patterns that show up in daily life. This approach can help when someone wants deeper self-understanding or to make sense of recurring emotional themes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking concrete steps toward them while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. That method often helps with anxiety, motivation, and long-term behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janis collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She mixes insight-oriented and skills-based techniques so the plan can shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can be easier when scheduling around work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when typing feels more manageable than speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and daily demands.
