About Janice
Janice Heinlen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with over 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and trauma. Janice aims to create a calm, steady space where people can speak honestly and begin to feel more able to cope.
She tailors sessions to each person's goals and pace, listening first to understand what matters most. Her practice centers on practical, evidence-based techniques to reduce symptoms and restore daily functioning. Sessions tend to emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings so gains carry into real life.
Janice has substantial experience supporting clients through perinatal and postpartum concerns, intimate partner violence, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse. She also helps people facing life transitions such as divorce, blended family challenges, caregiving and aging-related stress, and recovery after disasters or loss.
Her work often addresses panic disorder and panic attacks alongside broader anxiety and trauma responses. Janice pays attention to shame, guilt, and isolation that commonly accompany these problems, and helps people rebuild self-compassion and resilience.
People who choose Janice usually want a therapist who listens closely, sets clear goals, and uses proven therapeutic tools. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what a meaningful next step would look like, then co-creates a plan that fits each person’s life and priorities.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Janice incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One commonly used approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood. Another often used direction is trauma-focused work, which aims to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and symptoms so daily life feels more manageable.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by listening to concerns and goals, then together with the client pick or adapt methods that fit needs and preferences. Plans are revised as progress is made so the work stays relevant and doable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes it easier to show up from another location, or allows shorter check-ins when that suits a day. Licensed professionals can adjust session pace, homework, and tools to work well over distance so progress continues between meetings.
