Therapeutic approaches and online care
Janice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts, clarify values, and take small actions that match what matters to them; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating major life shifts. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for mood and stress management. Client-centered therapy is part of her approach as well, offering a listening space where the person’s experience guides the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try different tools, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are interested in online work, confirm the current session options before booking as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits you, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach skills, reframe thinking, and support behavior change in ways that fit everyday life.
