About Janice
Janice Hunter helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She communicates directly and calmly so parents reading on a phone can get a clear sense of what to expect.
Background and approach
Janice is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Sessions usually look at current challenges, coping skills, and small behavior changes that make an immediate difference. Janice emphasizes the client’s own strengths and choices rather than imposing a fixed plan.
When trauma, loss, or relationship endings are involved she helps people create safety and steady routines. Conversations also cover feelings like guilt, shame, or anger and how those feelings affect daily life.
Work-related stress, issues tied to identity and multicultural concerns, and women’s issues are addressed in straightforward terms. Janice encourages realistic goals and steady progress.
She works with people who are processing divorce or domestic violence, and those wanting to rebuild self-love and forgiveness. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase coping options.
Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. The approach is collaborative - the client’s priorities guide each step.
Janice recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and she offers steady, practical support to people taking that step.
Approach to evidence-based care and online sessions
Janice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping skills and emotion regulation. One common approach she uses teaches simple strategies to manage anxiety and stress in the moment, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic events and their effects on daily life by creating safety, building routine, and slowly addressing painful memories at a manageable pace.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Janice will listen to a person’s goals, try a few methods, and check in regularly about what helps most. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to keep using and which to change based on progress and preference.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for quick support, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
