About Janice

Janice Withrow is an LPC with 17 years of clinical experience based in Georgia who works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, career concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, and a wide range of mood and attention challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a person-centered stance to help clients identify where they become stuck and to encourage self-exploration, emotional processing, and practical problem solving. Her work addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting and communication problems, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her style emphasizes engagement and collaborative exploration of thoughts, feelings, bodily experience, and personal meaning. Janice integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, and emotion-focused strategies to tailor interventions to each client’s needs.

She has additional experience supporting people managing chronic illness, neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive concerns, dissociation, domestic violence, and family-of-origin wounds. Janice runs Inner Door Consulting, LLC and brings nearly two decades of practice to help clients find clearer pathways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Janice commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and emotions without judgment while clarifying personal values and committed action, a useful fit for coping with life transitions, chronic stress, and motivation challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend techniques from CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed work to create a tailored plan that feels workable for the client.

Online therapy with Janice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed with licensed professionals guiding the work.
