About Janis

Janis E. Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing addictions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, family concerns, grief, career questions, and major life changes. Her additional focus areas include control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, discovering life purpose, building self-love, and women's issues.

Janis approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring the idea that each person is the expert in their own story and already carries resources to support change. She emphasizes empowerment and practical support, helping clients develop motivation, confidence, and skills to move toward a more fulfilling life. Janis encourages the courageous step of seeking help and offers a collaborative environment where clients’ goals and values guide the process.

As an LPC she combines empathic listening with evidence-informed techniques to support growth and resilience. Her practice is centered on helping individuals identify meaningful change, rebuild self-worth, and navigate relationships and recovery one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space where the client’s own priorities guide the work. It helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and finding direction during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines patterns of thinking and behavior to build practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and unhelpful habits through concrete skill building. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change and is often useful when addressing substance use and ambivalence about recovery.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janis works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. Clients and the therapist decide together how to move forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, manage transportation barriers, and maintain continuity of treatment. Licensed professionals can tailor session types to what works best for each client while focusing on effective, practical support.
