01About Janel
Janel Longoria is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 16 years of experience to her practice in Texas. She focuses on practical support for people facing addiction, depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate.
She aims to help people take the next step toward feeling better. She creates a calm space where people can say what they’re thinking and feeling. Conversations are direct and free from judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps the client can try between meetings. Janel uses tools from several evidence-informed approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and move toward valued actions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Her work also includes strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation and relationship repair are priorities.
She supports people dealing with identity and intimacy questions, ADHD, caregiver strain, and career stress. Janel also helps people managing grief, family of origin issues, and sexual concerns related to kink or alternative culture. She offers phone, video, chat, and messaging sessions to fit different schedules.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that reflect what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build healthier patterns in close relationships and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. Clients and the therapist work together to choose methods that match needs and preferences rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
Online sessions are offered by phone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people work face-to-face when that feels important. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when a camera isn’t wanted. Chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and flexibility across the day. These options let clients continue work or caregiving while still keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
