Online care and therapeutic focus



Janice offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to connect in a format that fits their schedule and communication needs while working through concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central component of her online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, practicing skills to shift those patterns, and setting concrete, collaborative goals. In remote sessions, CBT can include structured exercises, real-time skill practice through conversation, and steps to apply new strategies between meetings.

Alongside CBT, Janice brings an empowering, strengths-oriented stance. She collaborates with people who wish to draw on their own resources, clarify life purpose, repair communication, and address issues like guilt, shame, or isolation. The combination of skills-based CBT and supportive collaboration is presented in a way that adapts to video, phone, chat, or messaging formats.
