About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Janca brings nine years of professional counseling experience to her practice, drawing on formal training in psychology and counseling to support clients facing a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and has worked in direct therapy roles, including applied behavior analysis and play-based approaches with children, as well as activity and talk therapy with adolescents and adults. Her background also includes several years in school-based roles supporting academic and emotional development.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s pace and goals, with a client-centered foundation that prioritizes empathic listening and the client’s own priorities. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation and coping skills.

Elizabeth focuses on practical strategies for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, trauma and related areas, and she accepts international clients while practicing from Texas. She offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, and encourages a thoughtful, goal-oriented process so clients can explore meaningful change over time.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online sessions

Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the person’s priorities guide each session, emphasizing empathic listening and reflection to support personal insight and growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy is applied to help identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to develop concrete coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy elements are used when helpful to teach skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works together with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This process may include trying techniques from different models and adjusting methods as progress and feedback indicate what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier for busy lives and for people in different locations. These options allow sessions to be more flexible and accessible while retaining a professional therapeutic focus, supporting ongoing work on skills, coping strategies, and personal goals.
