About Janice
Janice Snyder is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, and depression. She also focuses on communication problems and social anxiety and phobia.
Janice uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people manage day-to-day challenges. Sessions often involve identifying what feels most urgent, testing small changes, and practicing skills that make social situations more manageable. She treats discussions about grief and loss with steady attention and helps clients find ways to carry on with daily life.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own story. Janice listens for strengths and past coping strategies, then builds on those resources. She frames experiments and practice as ways to learn what works rather than as tests to pass or fail.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, phobias, and relationship patterns. That work can include short, focused tasks to reduce avoidance and stepwise practice for speaking up or handling social settings. For mood and low motivation she uses paced behavioral steps to rebuild routines and confidence.
Janice trained at the University of Southern California and holds clinical licensure as an LMFT in California. Her practice uses clear, practical language and small, achievable goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Janice uses evidence-based techniques in online work
Janice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate to focused work on anxiety and mood. One approach she uses emphasizes gradual exposure and behavioral experiments; clients identify feared social situations, try small steps toward them, and review what happened to reduce avoidance. Another common strand involves behavioral activation - setting small daily activities and routines to lift mood and rebuild confidence after loss or low motivation.Finding the right way to work is collaborative. Janice will help clients choose techniques that fit their goals and comfort level, then adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. She treats the client as the expert on their experience and pairs that perspective with practical exercises and check-ins.

Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, require less travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to keep therapy consistent and easier to maintain alongside daily demands.
