About Janice

Janice Nass is an LCSW with 40 years of experience based in Florida. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness or disability, relationship strain, and challenges balancing work and life. Her focus includes stress, self-esteem, addiction concerns, parenting issues, trauma and related struggles.

She begins by helping clients notice the thoughts and beliefs that keep them stuck. That can mean looking at how someone frames a situation and trying a different, more useful way of thinking. She also helps people re-examine core values so actions line up with what matters most.

Janice uses straightforward exercises that encourage small, practical changes. That might include noticing automatic thoughts, testing ideas with real-life experiments, and trying new communication habits. She describes therapy as a place to practice different responses to hard moments.

Her background includes long-term care and hospice work, plus clinical roles in group practice settings. Those roles shaped her approach to loss, caregiver stress, and chronic health concerns. Janice draws on decades of hands-on experience with people in varied life stages.

Sessions often explore supports and self-care that reflect a person's worth. She also examines how communication patterns affect relationships and practical steps to change them. Over time, the focus is on learning skills that help someone manage change and make clearer choices.

Janice combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, and solution-focused strategies. She offers this mix while helping people decide which pieces fit their needs and goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try concrete experiments and track small changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help with grief, chronic health issues, and ongoing stress by shifting the aim from eliminating feelings to acting on what matters.

Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which exercises and practices to try first. The plan can be adjusted as sessions reveal what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work on skills from their own daily settings. Discussing practical logistics is part of the first meeting so appointments are arranged to work with a person's routine.
