About Janice

LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) Janice Austin-Taylor has 26 years of experience helping people in California with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. She uses practical, evidence-based techniques and works in English.

Janice focuses on emotional dysregulation and distress tolerance. Sessions are interactive and she uses cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside dialectical behavior therapy approaches to address day-to-day coping and problem solving. She talks with clients about patterns that maintain anxiety, anger, or relationship conflict and works on concrete skills to manage those moments.

She has long experience with people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. In those cases she helps clients build safety in their responses, increase distress tolerance, and develop clearer boundaries with others. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains and the impact of ADHD on daily routines.

Janice frames treatment as a collaborative process. She and the client set goals, try practical exercises between sessions, and adjust the plan based on what is working. Expect straightforward skill teaching, role practice, and weekly check-ins on progress.

Practical matters are discussed early. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted. To start, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions look like

Janice works with two main evidence-based approaches. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; this helps with anxiety, anger, and problems that keep repeating. Dialectical behavior therapy strategies concentrate on distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills; these are useful for managing strong feelings and improving relationship interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans based on what helps and teaches practical skills clients can use between sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find virtual sessions let them practice skills in everyday settings and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
