About Janice
Her training included structural and strategic family systems ideas, which shape how she looks at relationships and patterns. She often starts by meeting people where they are comfortable and works from that place. Sometimes that means focusing on present-day concerns. Other times the work includes tracing family of origin patterns when that helps reach goals.
Janice uses practical tools to help people change thoughts and behaviors through methods like cognitive behavioral approaches. She has additional training in alcohol and drug treatment and trauma-informed care. She is attentive to how larger societal forces, such as racism and discrimination, affect mental and physical health.
She believes therapy can be short-term or ongoing depending on the person's needs. Some people want a few sessions to resolve a problem. Others choose regular sessions to support long-term change and accountability. Janice aims to create a nonjudgmental space where feelings and ideas can be talked through.
Her practice includes work with a broad range of concerns and life stages, from parenting and blended family issues to aging, chronic illness, and coping with major life changes. Language of service is English and her license allows clinical practice in North Carolina.

How Janice’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. This approach fits issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. It often involves skill-building for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy week, and allow brief check-ins when time is limited. It can also reduce travel time and let people continue therapy during life transitions. A therapist and client will decide together how often to meet and which session style fits daily life best.
