More about Janice
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My name is Janice Harbin, I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years. I started to work with adolescents and children. I have worked with adults for the past 10 years primarily. I have worked in mental health outpatient settings that have referred to psychiatric services as needed. I have worked with addicts of all kinds in the past 10 years, and was part of a drug court treatment team for 3 of those years. I have a Certified Advanced Addiction Drug Counselor Certification for 8 years. I see the addiction as the symptom and seek to see the problem creating this addiction. I have a Christian background and a strong faith and believe in the power of prayer.
I would be happy to share some of my expertise with you and help you on your life's journey. Sometimes the road gets lonesome and rocky, and we all need help here and there. I enjoy being in the outdoors, riding my bike or walking. I also enjoy spending time with my family, kids and grandkids.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great therapist
Janice is extremely nice and makes me feel heard. When I tell her things I do not feel that I am being judged. I am so grateful for everything she has helped me through and I would recommend her and or better help to anyone. I look forward to therapy every week!
Janice is gentle and kind. She is quick to catch on to what is going on just by listening to you. She gives good advice, she takes interest in your life and your own interests to offer the best advice. She has good humour, too. Janice is really nice, I enjoyed talking to her and she was a good help.
Janice Harbin is a wonderful woman and a sincerely exceptional therapist. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
Janice has helped me for a couple months and I am very thankful for her. She was able to give me helpful coping mechanisms and cheered me up and made me feel better after every session.
Absolutely wonderful
She is very easy to talk to. In the short amount of time we have tales with each other I feel better because she has given me a lot of insight and options for certain things. She is very understanding and makes me feel heard and that she really cares about what I have to say.
Very professional and easy to talk to.
She responds very quickly which shows a lot of care. She is a great listener and is taking the time to get to know me. She's a great sounding board for my thoughts and she's very patient with my rambling. If I ramble too long on here, I'm pretty sure she'll figure out who this is, in spite of anonymity lol she's great. Very kind and I'm glad I got matched with her. So far, this journey of healing has greatly benefited from her involvement and care.
I have been happy with Janice. She listens and it has been helpful to talk to ber. She has given me good ideas. Thank you
