About Janice

Janice Nass is an LCSW with 40 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and family of origin issues. Her practice also addresses mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She offers practical help when life changes feel overwhelming or when long-standing patterns keep someone stuck.

Janice focuses on how people respond to change and on shifting the stories they tell themselves. She works with clients to reframe situations and notice thoughts that limit their options. That often means looking at core beliefs and values to see where current choices line up with what matters most.

In sessions she helps people name supports and develop healthier self-care habits. Communication habits are discussed plainly, including how they strengthen or undermine relationships. When useful, she examines commitment and control issues and helps people decide what to let go of and what to preserve.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help change thinking and increase psychological flexibility. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to keep work practical and goal oriented. Janice blends these methods while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.

Over four decades she has worked in long-term care, hospice, administrative roles, and group practice mental health settings. That background informs a straightforward style that aims to help people make small changes that fit into everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and acting in line with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs evolve during therapy.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people use remote sessions to handle regular weekly work, and others prefer an occasional session to adjust to a specific change. Discussing logistics at the first meeting helps match session length and frequency to everyday schedules and goals.
