Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with forty years of practice. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by teaching ways to respond differently to life’s changes. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship challenges.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people reframe their situations and notice unhelpful thinking. That can mean looking at core beliefs, identifying small actions to try, and noticing how values shape choices. She encourages people to see change as an opportunity rather than only a threat.

Janice draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy while keeping sessions centered on the person. Sessions also incorporate client-centered and solution-focused ideas to tailor each plan. The emphasis is on useful tools people can try between meetings.

Her background includes work in long term care, hospice, administration, and group mental health practice. Those settings shaped her practical outlook and her focus on daily coping skills and supports. She often helps people who are coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, or major life transitions.

In sessions she helps people spot patterns, try new behaviors, and build supports that match their values. People who want clear strategies and a calm, steady guide through change may find this approach helpful. The goal is to strengthen inner resources so people can move forward with more confidence.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest techniques from these approaches that fit the client. That conversation is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy lives. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals use these methods to help people build practical skills and move toward meaningful goals.
