About Dennice
Dennice Janz is a Washington-licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of clinical experience. She offers calm, straightforward care for people wrestling with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she avoids stigmatizing labels when talking with clients.
Over two decades of practice inform her flexible approach. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to match what a person needs in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and stronger communication rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans. Dennice uses mindfulness exercises and behavior-focused strategies to help reduce intense feelings and manage day-to-day symptoms. The Gottman Method also guides her work on communication and intimacy for people looking to repair or deepen connections.
Plans are adjusted as progress and goals become clearer. Her style is interactive and collaborative. People can expect to talk through specific problems, try short skills between sessions, and review what works.
Dennice emphasizes respect and sensitivity and builds on each person’s strengths to move toward steadier coping. She supports concerns that include parenting stress, anger, trauma and abuse recovery, LGBTQ issues, bipolar mood management, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood so they can choose the changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and depression going. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to improve communication and handle conflicts more constructively in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dennice will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods best matches a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges. Sessions often mix skill-building, reflection, and short between-session exercises so the plan changes as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who prefer not to travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions save bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real life.
