About Janice

Janice Terry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience helping people confront strong emotions and stressful life moments. She focuses on clear, practical work to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address addictions and relationship concerns. Janice uses straightforward skills people can try between sessions to feel steadier day to day.

Her background includes long experience with grief, trauma and family issues, and she helps people who are coping with mood concerns like depression and bipolar. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and work or career pressures. Janice includes attention to attachment and body-image issues when they are part of what someone brings.

In sessions she draws on approaches that center the person and build emotional awareness. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy help with emotion regulation and stress tolerance.

Janice describes her work as focused on teaching coping and communication skills and on motivating steps toward change. She aims to help people create healthier patterns in relationships and day-to-day life. Her practice blends emotional processing with practical tools so people can try new ways of responding outside the therapy room.

She holds the LCSW credential, practices in Texas, and conducts work in English. People who want to begin will complete an intake matching form and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Janice’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Janice often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions, helping people recognize patterns and try new ways of connecting. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person's priorities and to build a collaborative, respectful space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into small, testable steps people can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, reduce travel time, and let people use sessions from different places. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and bring examples from daily life into sessions.
