Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills, and setting achievable goals.
Janice provides therapy that includes crisis intervention when needed. She aims to help people identify strengths and resources, clarify goals, and take practical steps toward changes that matter to them. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, emphasizing skills practice and problem solving.

How Janice applies practical approaches in online sessions
Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT involves spotting thoughts that lead to distress, testing those thoughts, and trying new behaviors to change outcomes. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person directs the goals while the therapist offers support and reflection.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are practical tools for managing strong emotions, reducing self-harm urges, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when communication breaks down.
Janice treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then combine techniques that fit the person’s needs. That process includes trying an approach and adjusting it if it does not help.
