About

About Janice

Janice Nass is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, and the stress that comes with life changes. Janice helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and find practical ways to move forward.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She frames therapy as a team effort where small shifts in thinking and behavior can lead to real change.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills that can be used outside of the office to cope with daily stress and to manage strong emotions. Janice often helps people reframe situations that feel stuck or overwhelming. She encourages clients to examine core beliefs and to realign actions with personal values.

This can make transitions and setbacks easier to handle. She also attends to relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and work-life balance. Practical communication strategies and identifying reliable supports are common topics in her work.

Janice draws on what has helped clients in real life, not only ideas on a page. Her background includes long-term care and hospice social work, administration, and mental health practice in group settings. That experience informs a calm, steady approach when people face big losses or chronic stress.

Her aim is to help people regain a sense of agency and move toward what matters to them. Janice practices in Florida and holds LCSW credentials for Illinois and Florida. She works with adults who want to address parenting stress, addiction, trauma, mood concerns, ADHD, and a range of life transitions.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match personal values. It is useful for stress, grief, and when life changes leave people feeling paralyzed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will discuss goals, preferences, and the situation to decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or as needs change.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual interaction, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, mood tracking, or short problem-solving between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules change.
