About Janice
Janice uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral methods to look at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. She also uses client-centered ideas to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client's goals guide the work.
Her practice has focused on trauma, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and grief. That background informs how she responds to crises and to people who carry painful experiences. Janice emphasizes compassion and authenticity in sessions and works with clients to identify strengths and practical resources.
She earned a Master of Education with a concentration in Professional Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College in 2016. Janice holds LPC and LPCC credentials and has practiced for eight years, including work in Tennessee.
Sessions aim to explore immediate concerns, set clear goals, and develop small, achievable changes. Expect a direct but supportive tone, concrete tools to try between sessions, and regular check-ins about what is or isn’t working. Janice frames therapy as a collaborative effort toward what matters most to the client.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, asks open questions, and helps people set their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative space to figure things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anger, anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. They will try methods that fit the person and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also share worksheets and exercises between meetings so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
