About Janice

Janice Nass is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of practice who helps people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Drawing on long experience in long-term care, hospice, administration, and group practice, she frames therapy around the idea that while change is unavoidable, responses to change can be reshaped. Her work emphasizes practical mindset shifts that help clients move from feeling stuck to feeling more empowered to make choices aligned with their values.

She uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, person-centered listening, and solution-focused strategies, tailoring each blend to an individual’s needs. Sessions often explore how thoughts and core beliefs influence behavior, how reframing can open new possibilities, and how accepting discomfort can lead to meaningful growth.

Janice also helps clients identify supportive relationships and healthier self-care practices while refining communication patterns that strengthen connections. Based in Florida, she brings a compassionate, experienced approach that encourages people to course-correct and pursue a life that fits their priorities.

Her practice highlights practical tools and collaborative problem-solving to help clients discover what’s possible next in their lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support



Janice commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing concrete behavioral experiments to change mood and functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and committed actions to build a more meaningful life when facing change or chronic stress.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current concerns, and may combine techniques to create a customized plan. Clients can expect a practical, values-oriented stance and ongoing conversation about what tools are most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, caregiving, or health-related constraints, and they allow practical skill-building and follow-up between sessions.
