About Janice
Janice Naranjo is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and parenting concerns. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth style. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent searching on a phone.
She treats conversations as a place to sort out priorities and make small, useful changes. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills to manage strong emotions, and steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Janice adapts the pace and approach to each person’s needs. Her work draws on client-centered practices that focus on what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused ideas to identify immediate next steps.
Trauma-focused methods are used when people need to address painful past events. Janice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people build confidence and motivation.
The goal is ordinary improvements that add up over time. She is licensed in Colorado as an LPC and has supported people for a decade and a half. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person's concerns at the center of each session and focuses on listening, respect, and what the client finds most important. This approach helps when parents want a therapist who follows their lead and builds on their strengths.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress with exercises to practice between sessions.
Janice treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed so work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people pick what works best for their day. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation for deeper moments, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy parenting schedules and different routines.
