About Janice

Janice Withrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, career concerns, parenting stress, sleep problems, and challenges related to neurodevelopmental or cognitive disability.

Janice looks for the points where people get stuck. She helps clients name the patterns that keep them reacting the same way. Sessions focus on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on noticing how feelings and the body show up in tense moments.

Her approach draws on several therapies that help people manage strong emotions and improve communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thoughts that fuel anger and to test different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation when stress is high.

Attachment-based ideas are brought into work about close relationships and repeating family patterns. Client-centered elements shape how sessions are paced, so the person sets priorities and decides what to try between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that match personal values, even when impulses are strong.

Janice combines these methods into straightforward, practical conversations. She encourages small experiments and skill practice to reduce reactivity. People who want clearer boundaries, fewer outbursts, or steadier moods often focus on communication skills, coping plans, and brief behavior changes in her work.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when anger gets in the way of what someone wants to stand for. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that escalate emotion and testing different behaviors to change outcomes. This approach is often practical for anger that shows up at work or in close relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be helpful when someone needs concrete tools to manage sudden surges of anger.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps. That might mean combining skill practice, values-based choices, and attention to attachment patterns to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins on tough days, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online sessions to support ongoing skill practice, follow up on home assignments, and keep progress moving between in-person meetings if needed.
