About Janis
Janis Edralin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. She draws on nearly two decades of counseling experience to support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Janis focuses on helping clients find strengths, clarify goals, and build a more meaningful daily life.
Her sessions are collaborative and empowering. She treats each person as the expert on their own experience and works together with them to set practical steps. Janis uses a mix of approaches aimed at improving coping, emotional regulation, and problem solving.
Janis has worked in a range of settings, including community programs, academic roles, and international service with the Peace Corps. That variety shapes a flexible, multicultural viewpoint she brings to conversations about recovery, identity, and long-term change. Her background also includes mentoring other counselors and teaching graduate students.
Clients can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Janis blends evidence-informed methods with attention to personal values and life goals. She often focuses on building skills people can use between sessions to manage cravings, handle difficult emotions, and improve communication.
Outside of counseling she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and reading poetry. Those interests inform a disciplined and creative approach to therapy. If someone is ready to begin, she invites them to take the first step toward change.
Approaches for online counseling and finding what fits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people live a life that matters to them despite difficult thoughts or cravings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janis works together with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration means adjusting techniques over time as progress and challenges emerge.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it possible to continue work with a licensed professional while living in a different state or country. Discuss format preferences during the matching and scheduling steps to find a setup that works with daily routines and technology comfort.
