About Janice
Janice Nass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of practice experience, based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and addiction. She also supports people facing life changes, chronic illness or caregiving strain and those coping with anger, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Janice uses straightforward conversation to help people notice how they respond to change. She works with clients to reframe unhelpful thoughts and re-examine core beliefs that can keep them stuck. Sessions include practical skills you can try between meetings and gentle challenges to unhelpful patterns.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to clarify values and willingness, and client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work grounded and goal-oriented. She explains options and helps clients choose what feels useful for their situation.
Over four decades she has worked in long-term care, hospice, administration, and outpatient mental health settings. That background informs her attention to caregiver stress, aging and illness-related concerns, and communication problems within families of origin.
People who come to Janice often want clear steps to manage anxiety, grief, or parenting strain and a calm clinician to help them sort through priorities. To begin, reviewers are asked to use the site’s online steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Janice uses CBT and ACT in online work
Janice often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. ACT helps clients clarify what matters most to them and practice small actions that reflect those values, which can ease the strain of life changes.She also incorporates client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Janice will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try first, adjusting as progress is made.
