About Janis
Janis Edralin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also helps people facing attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and related challenges.
She uses straightforward, collaborative sessions to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Sessions often include looking at how early family roles and expectations continue to shape current relationships and behavior.
Her background includes doctoral study in Counselor Education and Supervision and long experience as an LPC and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. She has served as an LPC mentor and as an adjunct professor working with graduate counseling students. This mix of academic and clinical work informs a measured, practice-oriented approach.
Janis also brings international and community experience from Peace Corps service and corporate collaboration overseas. She draws on creative influences from music conservatory training and a longtime commitment to athletic discipline. These experiences shape a practical focus on skills, responsibility, and adapting to change.
She expects to work together with each person to clarify goals and notice the family-of-origin patterns that still matter. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking about choices and to try concrete strategies for handling difficult moments.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then choose actions that fit their values; it is often used for anxiety, motivation problems, and recovery work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationships and how they shape current patterns, helping people recognize repeated roles and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience in the moment and supports self-directed problem solving and reflection.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. That way sessions can move toward the methods that feel most useful for day-to-day concerns rooted in family patterns or relationship habits.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video if someone prefers less screen time. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical arrangements to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than force a schedule change.
