Janice Ruchlis , LMFT

Janice Ruchlis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who partners with individuals to examine trauma, disability, and low self-esteem and to discover pathways toward healing and renewed optimism. She blends psychodynamic, behavioral, spiritual, and developmental perspectives to tailor work to each person’s needs, drawing on multiple ways of understanding patterns, emotions, and relationships.

Her practice includes clients of all ages and nationalities, and she places a strong emphasis on recognizing and valuing differences as part of the therapeutic process. Janice strives to bring those differences into the open so they can be understood and used as a foundation for growth.

Known for a collaborative and respectful approach, she helps clients build practical coping skills while attending to deeper emotional and relational themes. Janice welcomes the opportunity to work together with clients who are ready to explore past wounds and current challenges and to move toward greater resilience and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Janice Ruchlis draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address emotional and relational challenges in an online format. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure connections and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions, managing stress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Janice collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the treatment fits the individual. This collaborative process helps determine which combination of strategies will be most helpful.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support, make scheduling easier, and provide multiple ways to engage in therapy according to what feels most comfortable for the client.
