About Janice

Janice Gillmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 35 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She works with individuals to address relationship challenges, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and purpose. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical change over time.

Janice combines emotion-focused methods with mindfulness and trauma-aware work to help people feel more connected to their emotions.

Background and approach

She draws on psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems to notice patterns that keep someone stuck. Sessions focus on identifying painful feelings, understanding how they developed, and building new ways to respond. Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and human development and decades of clinical work across public and personal settings.

She also integrates spiritual practices for those who want that emphasis, and she can share basic meditation or yoga guidance on request. Janice is a Virginia LPC and offers services in English. People who choose her often want to reduce panic, manage anger, heal from past trauma, or overcome process addictions like gambling or problematic sexual behaviors.

She helps with career questions, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to identity and belonging as well. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Janice helps people set realistic goals and tries different strategies until something fits.

Progress tends to come from small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Emotion-focused care and online options

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses in relationships and life. It helps people identify core feelings, see how emotions shape behavior, and practice new ways of responding to stress or conflict.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, rumination, and for building steadier responses to triggers.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurt affects current life and provides steps to process painful memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and for healing from abuse or major losses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing EFT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques over time to see what fits.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper, interactive work, while phone sessions can require less bandwidth and work well for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people keep momentum between sessions and fit support into busy days.
