About Janiece

Janiece Foust is an LCSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and a broad range of life adjustments.

Background and approach

With 22 years of clinical experience, she draws on several evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and career transitions.

Her approach blends practical skills and empathic listening, using cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and dialectical techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Janiece emphasizes collaboration and building trust so clients can explore attachment, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, chronic health-related stress, and family of origin patterns.

She also works with substance-related and domestic violence concerns and supports people coping with divorce, caregiver burden, and aging-related issues. Based in Tennessee and licensed as an LCSW, Janiece offers multiple session formats to increase accessibility.

Her background includes work in individual, family, couples, and group settings, and she incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside other therapeutic tools to help clients pursue meaningful change.

Approaches and online care that support skill-building and insight

Janiece commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding the person’s experience through empathic listening and validation to strengthen self-directed change. When needed, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic conversation. Janiece works collaboratively with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Janiece is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access consistent care around work and life commitments. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and let clients use the communication method that feels most comfortable while working on concrete skills, emotional processing, and behavior change.
