Janice Harbin, LPC

Janice Harbin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years in the mental health field. She began working with children and adolescents and has spent the last decade focused mainly on adult clients. Her background includes outpatient mental health work and experience collaborating with psychiatric services when needed.

Janice has extensive experience supporting people who face addictions and related concerns. She spent several years on a drug court treatment team and approaches addiction as a symptom, looking for the problems that contribute to the behavior. Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and a wide range of life transitions.

Her clinical work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and mindfulness skills to help people identify goals and cope with difficult moments.

Janice understands parenting and family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and aging and geriatric issues among other focus areas. She brings a faith background into her life and personal perspective, and she is comfortable discussing how faith and coping intersect when clients raise that topic.

Outside of work she enjoys spending time outdoors, riding her bike and walking, and being with family including her children and grandchildren. She aims to walk alongside clients through rocky or lonely stretches and support progress toward clearer, more manageable days.

How Janice’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and move toward things that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change patterns and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to access consistent support during life transitions or when mobility is limited. Ask about specific scheduling details and formats when you begin the intake process.
