About Janice
Janice Nass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with forty years of experience. She practices from Florida and helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
Janice aims to help people gain perspective when change feels impossible to manage. She encourages straightforward reflection on core beliefs and everyday habits. That work often leads to small shifts that make daily life easier to handle.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people reframe difficult thoughts and test new ways of behaving. Conversations look at what matters most to the person and how current actions match those values. She also works on communication, identifying supports, and healthy self-care routines that fit each person’s life.
Her method blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance and commitment techniques and a client-centered, solution-focused style. That mix is adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone. Janice often draws on examples from her long career in long-term care, hospice, and community mental health settings.
People who meet with her can expect calm, practical guidance aimed at regaining a sense of control. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to simple tools people can use between appointments. The overall aim is to help people move forward from stuck places and find workable next steps.
Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them. It focuses on choosing actions that reflect personal values and can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress reduction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening approach where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own problem-solving and growth.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques together. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person’s pace and what they want to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what works best. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging lets people share updates between scheduled meetings. These options add flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives and for accessing care from different locations.
