Elizabeth Janca , LPC, LPCC

Elizabeth Janca is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, based in Texas with nine years of experience. She became interested in counseling after her own early experiences in play therapy and carries that same sense of compassion into her work today. Elizabeth focuses on making therapy approachable and down-to-earth for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting demands, or life changes.

She uses plain talk and listens first. Sessions are shaped around what the person brings, and she helps break problems into small, manageable steps. Elizabeth draws on client-centered methods so clients lead the pace and topics, and she pairs that with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful.

Her background includes work in schools, activity-based therapy for young people, ABA therapy, play therapy, talk therapy, and group work with adolescents and adults. That mix informs an adaptable style suited to people facing grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, workplace stress, ADHD, or issues related to sexuality and relationships - including polyamory and other non-monogamous arrangements.

Elizabeth also supports parents and caregivers coping with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and the everyday strain of raising children. She pays attention to communication problems, chronic illness or pain, and career concerns, helping clients build coping skills and clearer choices.

Sessions are offered in English and Elizabeth works with people across regions, including international clients. She aims to make starting therapy straightforward and to help people find practical ways forward without jargon.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person guide the session. It helps people who need a supportive space to reflect and figure out what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It can help with intense emotions, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care across distances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat works for quick updates or brief conversations, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, and travel schedules.
