JC Portrait of Janice Carr

Janice Carr, LPC, LMFT

Warm, practical therapy for emotional healing

About Janice

Janice Carr is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who face trauma, grief, anxiety, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps people can try between sessions. She uses several approaches to guide work in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and small, committed actions.

Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and repair in relationships. Janice helps clients rebuild self-esteem and cope with stress.

She also supports people facing career shifts, immigration-related stress, and gender identity concerns. Relationship challenges such as communication problems, infidelity, and intimacy issues are common topics she addresses.

Her background includes long experience across varied emotional concerns, and she draws from different methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be understandable and concrete, not full of jargon.

Janice encourages practical tools you can use right away. Janice practices in Florida and works in English.

She offers a mix of session formats so people can choose what fits their life. Starting involves a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Over time, she helps people notice patterns that cause pain and test new ways of handling them. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Janice often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-based steps even when feelings are hard. This method helps with anxiety, grief, and motivation by focusing on actions tied to personal values rather than trying to remove difficult emotions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship wounds and closeness are central. These approaches look at how patterns of connection and trust form, and they help people practice new ways of relating and repairing emotional distance or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit their situation. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people share updates between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and travel.
