Janice Hunter , LMFT

Janice Hunter is a California-licensed LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with seven years of clinical experience working with adults facing life stressors. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, and navigate grief and loss, while also supporting clients through broader changes such as separation, workplace challenges, and issues related to identity and discrimination.

Her practice emphasizes clients’ strengths and resilience; she approaches each person as the expert of their own story and collaborates to build on existing resources. Janice offers care for those working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the emotional impacts of domestic violence and relationship transitions, with particular attention to women's concerns and multicultural factors that shape experience.

Janice aims to create a supportive environment where practical coping skills and insight work together to address presenting problems. She recognizes that beginning therapy can require courage and honors that first step, meeting clients with steady guidance and a focus on achievable progress.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Janice uses focused, evidence-based techniques to help clients build practical skills and process difficult experiences. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies for stress and anxiety, teaching tools for managing strong emotions, improving day-to-day functioning, and reducing the intensity of worry. Another approach is trauma-informed work that helps people safely process painful memories and the ways trauma can affect relationships and daily life. She also offers grief-focused support that helps clients navigate loss with compassion and practical coping methods.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janice collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan over time, combining techniques and adjusting focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different settings, while still working toward meaningful change.
