About Janis
Janis Ashburn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. She brings five years of clinical experience and a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Janis aims to help clients regain energy and a sense of purpose in their daily lives.
Janis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions such as problematic gambling or exercise patterns.
How Janis works
She also supports those dealing with grief, seasonal mood shifts, and low self-esteem. Conversations often include practical steps for better self-care and clearer communication. Clients find direct, compassionate work on issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and social anxiety.
Janis focuses on building coping skills and stronger emotional awareness so people can respond differently in stressful moments. Sessions commonly include talk, reflection, and skill practice tailored to each person’s needs. She works with people who feel isolated or who are trying to find life purpose after difficult events.
Janis helps people repair how they relate to themselves and others and encourages self-love as part of recovery. Her style is warm, steady, and focused on achievable goals. Janis practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.
She offers several online session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Janis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and mood concerns. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for panic attacks and intense anxiety, including breathing strategies and grounding techniques that can reduce symptoms in the moment. Another approach targets trauma-related reactions and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories and build safer ways of responding to triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. Janis will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then together they decide which techniques to try and adjust over time as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging are useful for on-the-go updates, quick skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
