About Janice

Janice Nass brings four decades of social work experience to her therapeutic practice in Florida, offering steady guidance for people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Background and approach

As an LCSW she blends practical skill with a compassionate orientation, helping clients reframe difficult situations, examine core beliefs, and explore how values shape choices. Her approach emphasizes learning new ways of responding to change so clients feel less stuck and more able to steer their lives in desired directions.

She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, and solution-focused planning, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Janice also draws on extensive background in long-term care, hospice, and group practice settings to support people facing caregiving burdens, chronic health challenges, and major life adjustments.

She encourages realistic self-compassion, testing new behaviors, and building supportive routines and relationships that reflect individual worth and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Janice uses cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients change unhelpful thinking and build meaningful action. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and testing thought patterns and developing practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed steps toward a valued life even when discomfort arises.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process; she works with each person to decide which approach or combination of approaches best matches their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what is working and what needs refinement, so therapy evolves with the client's needs.

Online therapy with Janice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health limitations and allow clients to maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient locations.
