About Janice
Janice Sowell greets parents who are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure where to start. She frames therapy as a practical space to sort through stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, and relationship concerns. Her style aims to be straightforward and compassionate, so people can focus on small changes that make daily life easier.
Janice uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. She pairs that with client-centered listening to make sure each person feels heard.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and dialectical behavior techniques are also part of her toolbox for managing strong emotions and building steady routines. Her background includes a Master of Education in Professional Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College in 2016. Janice has eight years of counseling experience and holds LPC and LPCC credentials.
She practices in Tennessee and draws on trauma-aware methods when addressing past hurt or crisis moments. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, step-by-step skills, and realistic plans parents can try between meetings. Conversations often cover communication problems, sleep disruptions, anger, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people working on self-love, boundaries, and intimacy-related issues. Janice describes the work as collaborative. She helps clients identify strengths, set achievable steps, and track progress.
The pace and techniques are adjusted to fit what each person needs and wants to accomplish.

Therapeutic tools and online support for parents
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapist follows the client's priorities and goals. It helps when a parent needs a space to talk through feelings, decide what matters most, and make a plan that fits their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can reduce intense reactions and improve communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the journey. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, personal style, and the issues they bring. Techniques and homework are adjusted over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit counseling into a busy schedule. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are handy for quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress while balancing parenting and other demands.
