About Janice
Clients often arrive overwhelmed by life transitions, chronic illness, relationship strain, or shifts at work. Janice helps people notice the thoughts that keep them stuck and then try different ways of responding. She favors straightforward, realistic steps rather than abstract theories.
Her approach emphasizes shifting unhelpful thinking and reconnecting with what matters most. That can look like learning to reframe situations, testing small behavior changes, or clarifying personal values to guide decisions. She also addresses communication patterns and supports healthier self-care routines.
Janice blends cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas. She also uses solution-focused strategies to keep sessions action-oriented. The mix is chosen to match each person’s needs and goals rather than follow a single formula.
Her background includes long term care, hospice, administration, and community mental health settings. Those roles shaped a practical way of helping people cope with loss, chronic conditions, and major life shifts. She invites a collaborative process to discover what matters and how to move forward.
People who want clear steps, gentle challenge, and an experienced guide may find her approach useful. She works from Florida and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work
Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit online conversations. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and related behaviors, which can be practiced through exercises and between-session tasks. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, often through short experiential exercises and values clarification.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, client-centered listening, or solution-focused steps best match their goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full visit is not needed. It can also support working through stress, grief, anger, and life transitions with practical tools that translate into daily routines.
