About Janel

Janel Longoria is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate addiction, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, and a wide range of other concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to guide clients through stressful life transitions, work-related strain, intimacy and attachment issues, and complexities like bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, or ADHD. Her background includes work with clients facing family-of-origin wounds, communication breakdowns, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance misuse.

Longoria emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that centers each person's values and goals. She creates space for honest exploration of shame, guilt, and grief while teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, boundary setting, and healthier interaction patterns.

Whether addressing fertility and caregiver stress, career and self-esteem concerns, or alternative sexual culture and kink-related topics, she aims to tailor strategies that fit individual circumstances. Prospective clients in Texas can expect a clinician who balances compassion with structured clinical tools to support sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in close relationships and helps partners or individuals better understand and shift emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist uses an initial assessment and ongoing collaboration to determine which combination of ACT, CBT, DBT skills, attachment-informed techniques, or EFT interventions best match a client's goals and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so treatment can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling within the region served, or use different formats for skill practice and check-ins. The variety of formats supports consistent progress while accommodating changing needs.
