She lays out steps that are easy to understand and tries to make progress feel realistic and doable.
The focus is on helping clients notice concrete changes in day-to-day life. Janice works with different therapeutic approaches and adapts them to the person in front of her. Beginning therapy is framed as a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted as needed.
Her practice offers a direct, approachable path for people ready to start a change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It aims to build a trusting relationship and supports people who need understanding, validation, and direction for their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or self-destructive behaviors.
Janice will work collaboratively to find the approach that fits a person’s goals and preferences. She discusses options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan together so the work matches what matters most to the client.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through multiple formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins during a busy day, and ways to continue work when in-person meetings aren’t convenient.
