About Janice
Dr. Janice Hodge is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 30 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. She describes counseling as a step that takes commitment and courage.
Her approach emphasizes practical conversation and steady support. Sessions focus on understanding what makes everyday situations feel hard. She helps people sort out relationship and communication problems, manage panic or overwhelm, and handle life changes like separation or workplace strain.
Janice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and habits that keep problems going. She talks through coping strategies, rehearsal of social or communication skills, and ways to reduce automatic reactions. The work often balances short-term relief with skills that stick.
She also helps people work through feelings like shame, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Parenting and women’s issues are noted areas she addresses, with attention to how those concerns affect mood and daily functioning.
Practical matters are part of the process. Clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Dr. Hodge draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills practice and behavioral change. One common approach helps people notice and adjust unhelpful thoughts and habits that fuel anxiety and low mood; it focuses on concrete steps to reduce avoidance and increase manageable activity. Another approach emphasizes learning and rehearsing social and communication skills, which can reduce fear in social situations and improve interactions at work or home.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This means starting with practical tasks and refining the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions during a lunch break or from a quieter location, helping people keep consistent contact with a licensed professional without rearranging an entire day.
