Janice Hunter

Janice Hunter is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support when relationships shift, including separation and divorce. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging for someone taking the first step toward change.

Janice sees people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. She offers calm, respectful conversation that helps sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions are aimed at steadying emotions, clarifying decisions, and finding next steps that feel manageable.

With seven years of clinical experience, Janice has worked with people coping with abuse, loss, and the emotional fallout of life transitions. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness affect daily functioning. She also addresses workplace stress and women's issues alongside multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Her approach centers on collaboration and simple, usable strategies rather than jargon. Janice helps people name what matters, practice new ways of responding, and try small experiments between sessions. Many clients come away with clearer choices and calmer routines.

To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability, and the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Janice works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach involves teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing and grounding exercises and brief behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. These tools help reduce intense reactions and make everyday tasks feel more manageable.

Another frequently used method focuses on processing grief and trauma in a paced, trauma-informed way. This involves talking through difficult memories, naming painful emotions, and developing routines that support gradual recovery and better day-to-day functioning. For clients dealing with separation or divorce, the work often includes decision-focused planning and strategies to manage guilt, shame, and self-care.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps therapy practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online therapy can help people fit sessions into busy lives, shorten travel time, and offer quicker check-ins during stressful periods. It also makes it easier to continue work during transitions or when schedules change, while the therapist and client decide what pace and format suit them best.
