Janice Shapiro

Clients who work with Janice Shapiro tend to leave sessions with something they didn’t have before: genuine options. Where life once felt frozen in place, Janice helps people see the choices available to them — and then actually make them. Based in Campbell, California, she works with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the quiet erosion that comes from being perpetually reachable — the work email that arrives at 10 p.m., the inability to step away even for an evening.

Janice holds an LMFT license and draws on a carefully matched toolkit: brief therapy for pressing, immediate concerns; cognitive behavioral approaches that put clients back in charge of their own thinking; psychodynamic work for patterns with deeper roots; and her own Framework Marriage Counseling model, built around the twelve skills she identifies as central to a lasting partnership. She is also a Certified Pet Loss and Bereavement Counselor, offering support both before and after the loss of a pet — a grief she takes seriously.

Her approach is collaborative by design: she brings expertise in relationships; clients bring expertise in their own lives. Sessions are available in person and online.
