About Janice
Her approach begins by meeting people where they are. Some work focuses on present-day concerns and practical coping skills. At other times, she may look at family of origin patterns when those histories help explain current struggles.
Janice often helps people change thoughts and behaviors using cognitive behavioral techniques. She has also had training in trauma treatment and pays attention to how societal issues such as racism and discrimination affect mental and physical health.
She believes therapy can be brief and solution-focused, or ongoing when people want regular support and accountability. Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and straightforward, with attention to the client’s goals and comfort.
Many clients come for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, or struggles with self-esteem and life transitions. Janice also works with issues like ADHD, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and blended family dynamics.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Janice uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the client’s experience and goals while the therapist listens and reflects to help understanding and growth. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to name priorities and make decisions.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and changing unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janice will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods accordingly. That may mean focusing on immediate problem solving, exploring family patterns, or using skills practice between sessions.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow work or caregiving breaks to be used for brief check-ins. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit their energy level, such as shorter conversations when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt practical tools and skill-building exercises to work in remote appointments, helping progress continue even when meeting remotely.
