Background and approach

Janice has long experience supporting people facing grief, relationship and attachment struggles, and challenges such as bipolar symptoms, substance use, and chronic illness. She also helps with eating and body-image concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. Her practice includes attention to compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

She draws on several therapy styles to meet each person where they are. Techniques may include behavior-focused tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused awareness from attachment work, and somatic strategies to ground the nervous system. The mix is chosen to match the issue at hand and the client’s goals.

Sessions are offered in English and scheduled from Texas. Janice uses talk and body-based observations, along with practical homework when useful. She aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions to cope with life’s changes and regain a sense of control.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Janice combines somatic-informed work with attachment-focused and client-centered methods. Somatic work helps people notice physical sensations tied to stress or trauma and use simple grounding practices to feel steadier. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in relationships and help people understand how early connection shapes current reactions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person’s priorities guide the work. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Janice works together with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That collaborative planning can shift over time as problems change and new skills are learned. Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and observation of body cues. Phone sessions can be useful for focused check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing problem solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while continuing steady progress.
