About Janice
Janice Nass brings four decades of social work experience to her practice in Florida. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and has spent many years helping people cope with change. Her work focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming.
Janice helps people who face stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the strain of chronic illness or caregiving. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or anger challenges.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and steady. In sessions she helps people reframe difficult situations and notice the stories their minds tell them. She encourages examining core beliefs and values to find actions that fit who they want to be.
Janice emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than dramatic overhauls. She draws on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These are used flexibly to match what each person needs on a given day.
The goal is to build practical skills people can use between sessions. Across many years in long-term care, hospice, administration, and group practice, Janice has focused on helping people adapt and begin again. She invites clients to look for supports, practice healthier communication, and take steps toward a life that feels more aligned with their values.
The work is collaborative and paced to the individual.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It focuses on values and small steps so difficult feelings don't block progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and actions, then teaches skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. These approaches are useful for stress, grief, depression, and many life adjustments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between appointments or to fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options make scheduling easier and help maintain continuity of care when life gets complicated.
