About Janel
Janel Longoria is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with addiction, relationship strain, trauma or depression. Her work also addresses anxiety, stress, parenting concerns, and codependency. Janel practices in English and offers work focused on real-life problems.
She starts by listening to the situation and the patterns that keep repeating. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that feel manageable. Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to feelings and behavior.
Janel draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Those methods help people notice painful thoughts, test new behaviors, and repair trust in close relationships. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as needed.
People come for many reasons - ongoing alcohol or drug struggles, trouble saying no, difficulty with intimacy, or emotional fallout from past abuse. Janel also works with clients facing career stress, caregiving burdens, fertility or cancer-related concerns, and shame or abandonment issues. Conversations may include relationship patterns and family of origin concerns.
Her sessions aim to build practical skills for coping and clearer choices about relationships. The first appointment is used to map out goals and what feels most urgent. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats before scheduling.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then commit to values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings and results. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and changing avoidance or coping habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people shift toward more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative fit may change over time as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can support consistent skill practice, make scheduling easier around work or caregiving, and allow focused check-ins without travel. Some formats also let people use shorter sessions when time is tight or opt out of video when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit day-to-day life and the work you want to do.
