About Janis
Janis Edralin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and questions linked to LGBT identity. Her style is collaborative and respectful, aiming to help people find clarity and build on their strengths.
She uses Systemic therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, clearer communication, and building routines that reduce distress. Janis encourages small changes that add up to better coping. Her background includes long-term counseling work, mentorship roles, and teaching in graduate programs.
She has experience in community and international settings, including Peace Corps service, and has brought that perspective into her clinical work. That experience informs how she notices cultural and life-stage differences when helping people. Janis emphasizes listening first, then shaping a plan based on each person's goals.
She supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, and the fallout of disaster. Therapy is paced to fit what the person can manage now and what they want to change next. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and reading literature and poetry.
Those interests inform a practical, disciplined approach and a creative eye for new options when people feel stuck.

Online support
How Janis Brings Therapeutic Approaches Online
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect stress and behavior. In online sessions this means noticing interaction styles and helping clients try new ways of communicating or setting boundaries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick values-based actions that move them forward. That approach can be useful for addiction, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and coping; online work can identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating with others.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Janis will discuss methods and try options together, adjusting based on what helps the client meet goals and what fits their preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and allow different ways to work on communication, coping skills, and recovery over time.
