Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass is an LCSW with 40 years of experience helping people adapt to life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and trauma and abuse. She practices in Florida and works in English.

Janice frames therapy as a practical process. She helps people reframe situations and notice the thoughts that keep them stuck. That can mean examining core beliefs and deciding whether those beliefs still fit the life someone wants to lead.

She talks plainly about discomfort and change. Janice says difficult feelings do not define a person. She supports people as they learn from mistakes, alter actions, and try new ways of coping.

Sessions also look at supports and self-care. Janice helps people recognize relationships and habits that reflect their worth and let go of those that do not. Communication style and everyday routines are worked on together to strengthen support systems.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are tailored to each person's needs and goals.

Across a long career Janice has worked in long-term care, hospice, administration, and group practice settings. She believes it is never too late to start again and that people can move toward lives they truly want. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.

How Janice's approaches translate to online work

Janice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, grief, chronic illness, and situations that involve major life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood challenges when people want concrete strategies and homework to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janice will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person's goals, concerns, and preferences. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use video or phone depending on what feels most manageable. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what fits your routine and needs.
