Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience helping people navigate big life changes. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, caregiving stress, and issues that come with aging and geriatric concerns. Her style is straightforward and hopeful, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to move forward.

She frames therapy as teamwork. Sessions start by looking at how change and loss are affecting day-to-day life. Then she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habitual reactions. Together they find small, practical steps that fit each person’s values and situation.

Janice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In plain terms, that means she helps people shift unhelpful thinking, sort out what matters most, and set achievable goals. The approach is adjusted to the pace each person needs.

Her background includes long-term care and hospice social work, administrative roles, and clinical practice in group settings. That experience informs how she supports those facing illness, caregiving duties, or end-of-life concerns. She emphasizes dignity and drawing on strengths people already have.

Practical skills, clearer communication, and rethinking limiting beliefs are typical targets in her work. Janice encourages people to try different approaches and see what helps. She focuses on building small, realistic changes that lead to a more manageable and meaningful life.

Approach-focused online care for life transitions

Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors that lead to clearer results. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems where thinking habits keep people stuck.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify what matters most and build actions that match those values. ACT helps when someone wants to move forward despite uncomfortable feelings rather than waiting for those feelings to disappear.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. They can also help people stay consistent while juggling caregiving, work, or health challenges. Licensed professionals can discuss which approach and session rhythm will best fit your life.
