About Dennice
Dennice Janz is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of clinical experience in Washington. She draws on long practice supporting people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity.
She often uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people sort out what matters most. Sessions focus on clear strategies and small changes that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Dennice blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive approaches to address patterns that feel stuck. Her background includes work as a psychocounselor and life coach alongside traditional therapy roles. That mix informs a flexible style - at times reflective and exploratory, and at other times goal-focused and skills-based.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors plans to each person’s goals. Parents often seek her help around family conflict, parenting strain, and rebuilding connection after loss or trauma. She also supports people coping with anger, bipolar mood shifts, intimacy concerns, and identity-related stress.
Sessions aim to be practical and understandable so busy adults can use what they learn. People who prefer collaboration and clear next steps tend to fit well with her approach. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines and needs.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns and helping clarify values and goals; this approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to sort out priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress, and is useful when people want step-by-step ways to change day-to-day routines.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Dennice will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals, mixing listening-based work with skills training as appropriate. This collaborative planning helps set clear, achievable steps for change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or smoothing between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain continuity of care when schedules are busy.
