How Janice’s approaches work online

Janice uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core emotions in relationships and strengthen emotional bonds. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing past hurts so they stop shaping day-to-day reactions and relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to calm the body and steady attention, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, checking in about what helps and what can be adjusted so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support use of recorded practices or guided mindfulness between meetings. Licensed professionals often blend talk, experiential exercises, and brief practices so clients can use skills during their week.
