Janis Edralin, LPC

Janis Edralin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and to regain a clearer sense of direction.

Janis works in a collaborative, client-centered way. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also incorporates attachment-informed ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those approaches fit the concern.

Her background includes service as an LPC mentor and adjunct professor in Texas, plus international work in the Peace Corps. Those roles inform how she supports people dealing with stress, low motivation, substance-use recovery, and self-esteem issues. She aims to help clients identify strengths and build everyday strategies that feel manageable.

Janis draws on a wide range of life experience outside the clinic. She has worked in corporate and multicultural settings and trained in music conservatories. Hobbies like hiking, biking, and fencing shape the discipline she brings to clinical work and to guiding practical behavior changes.

People who reach out usually want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, and better responses to crises or loss. Janis helps them notice patterns, practice new skills, and create small, sustainable shifts that reduce reactivity and increase choice.
