Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness or disability, and relationship strain. Her work aims to help people respond to life changes instead of feeling stuck.

Janice takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. She helps people notice the stories their minds tell and then looks for ways to reframe those thoughts so life feels more manageable. She also helps clients examine core beliefs to see if those beliefs are helping or holding them back.

Sessions often include looking at how values shape decisions. Janice encourages small, doable steps that align with what matters most to each person. She also helps identify supports and self-care practices that strengthen coping during hard times.

Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered work, and solution-focused techniques. Janice adapts these approaches to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Over four decades she has worked in long-term care, hospice, administration, and group mental health settings. That background informs a respectful, hopeful style that emphasizes starting again and finding purpose. Janice aims to help people build resilience so they can move forward with clearer choices and more confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Janice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in practical ways. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then teaches skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and gentle acceptance of feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in day-to-day settings and bring real-life situations into conversation more quickly.
