Janice Nass

Janice Nass is an LCSW with 40 years of experience helping people navigate major life changes. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness or disability, and stress from caregiving or work-life balance. Her approach is practical and grounded in everyday language.

Janice focuses on helping people notice the stories their minds tell them and then reframe those stories in ways that better fit their values. She uses straightforward techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to test new behaviors in small steps. Sessions often include looking at core beliefs and deciding whether those beliefs still serve the person.

She encourages acknowledging discomfort as part of change and learning from difficult moments rather than avoiding them. That can mean trying new communication habits, setting clearer boundaries, or building healthier routines. Janice also helps people pinpoint supports and self-care practices that reflect their worth and let go of those that do not.

Her background includes decades working in long term care and hospice as a social worker and administrator, plus practice in mental health group settings. That experience informs a calm, steady style when clients face loss or large transitions.

Janice blends cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused work to suit each person. She aims to help clients feel more able to course correct and move toward a life that fits their values.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice what matters to them and take action toward those values, even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change emotional responses and improve day-to-day functioning, which can help with depression, anxiety, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust as progress and preferences emerge. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
