About Janel
Janel Longoria is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps for day-to-day coping.
Longoria uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) among other approaches to look at patterns in emotional responses and attachment. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. In sessions she talks through specific situations and teaches skills that can be practiced between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward, moment-to-moment work on problems such as stress, parenting pressures, intimacy-related concerns, and substance issues. She helps people name emotions that are hard to describe and notice how those feelings shape relationships and behavior. Conversations often move from identifying a pattern to trying small changes that can shift how someone reacts.
Her additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, fertility and caregiver stress, and concerns related to kink and alternative sex culture. She also supports people managing chronic illness impact, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Longoria frames therapy as collaborative practical work. She asks questions, suggests exercises, and checks in on what helps. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How EFT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people notice recurring emotional responses and how those responses shape relationships and behavior. EFT supports clearer recognition of feeling states and new ways to respond.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on values and committed action. It teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while moving toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a person's situation, goals, and preferences and discuss which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
