About Janice

Janice Carr is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues around self esteem and intimacy. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame alongside concerns such as compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, and career or family stress.

Janice uses a mix of practical, conversational methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and make different choices. She uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches to look at how close relationships shape feeling and behavior.

Sessions are aimed at helping clients name what feels stuck and try small, concrete changes. Janice talks through patterns that keep people feeling trapped by guilt, shame, or old relational wounds. She also supports those coping with life transitions, immigration stress, infidelity, and separation.

Her work is direct and person-centered. Janice helps clients explore forgiveness, control issues, dependent personality patterns, and communication problems. She addresses family of origin issues and feelings of emptiness or isolation with attention to the client’s current life and goals.

Janice practises in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking committed action even when feelings are difficult. It can help with persistent guilt or shame by shifting attention toward valued steps rather than getting stuck in self-judgment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. It is useful for intimacy issues, attachment wounds, and patterns that keep people feeling isolated.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together whether ACT, attachment-focused work, CBT, or another method fits best for the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision may change as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.

This therapist’s session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter place. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and CBT to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation.
