Janice Withrow , LPC

Janice Withrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and parenting or caregiving stress. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues. Her style is calm and direct, focused on helping people break patterns that keep them stuck.

Janice uses plain talk to help someone name the problems getting in the way. She listens for recurring patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Then she works with each person to try simple, practical steps that can bring relief and forward motion.

Her work draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment ideas to help people understand their relationships and reactions. She also uses acceptance-based strategies and elements of dialectical work to teach emotional regulation and coping skills. Sessions aim to balance understanding with concrete skills practice.

With 17 years of experience as an LPC in Georgia, Janice has supported people through grief, career transitions, disability-related challenges, and mood concerns. She draws on that experience to tailor strategies to each person’s life and goals. Clients who want coaching around work or life purpose can expect focused, goal-oriented conversations.

Janice offers multiple ways to connect so therapy can fit into a busy life. She emphasizes collaboration - deciding together what to try, checking progress, and adjusting the plan as needed. Her aim is to help people feel steadier, more able to handle stress, and clearer about next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Janice often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small actions that match what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking patterns that worsen mood or make problems feel bigger, which can be helpful for depression, sleeping problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice treats therapy as a collaboration - she will help you decide which methods to try based on your goals, needs, and what feels most comfortable. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted together if something isn’t working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, coping skills prompts, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
