About Janice

Janice Nass is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience helping people navigate life’s hard turns. She offers calm, straightforward support for anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and challenges that come with chronic illness or major life change. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel more able and less stuck.

Janice uses clear, simple techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and reconnect with what matters to them.

Background and approach

She helps people notice patterns that keep them small and then try new behaviors that match their values. Conversations are direct and grounded in real-life choices rather than jargon. Her background includes long-term care, hospice, administrative roles, and clinical practice.

That experience shaped a focus on helping people cope with loss, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and medical issues alongside emotional concerns. She draws on forty years in social work to bring perspective and practical tools to sessions. Typical sessions look at how daily habits, relationships, and thoughts interact.

Janice works with clients to reframe situations, name core beliefs, and build concrete self-care and communication practices. She also helps identify supports people can rely on when change feels overwhelming. Janice practices in Florida and offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

She speaks English and follows approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy to match each person’s needs.

How Janice Uses Practical Approaches Online

Janice uses cognitive behavioral therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and to develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood shifts. Cognitive behavioral work often involves short experiments, thought records, and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify their values and take meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult. ACT focuses on noticing inner experience, accepting hard feelings, and committing to actions that reflect what matters most.

Finding the right approach is a collaboration. Janice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities to decide which methods to use. That plan can change over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for interactive skill teaching and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when a calmer audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, short problem-solving, and flexible touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
