Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness or disability, relationship struggles, and the stress of life transitions. She focuses on helping individuals who feel stuck when change brings fear, uncertainty, or low motivation, guiding them toward practical shifts in thinking and behavior that improve day-to-day functioning and well-being.

Her work emphasizes reshaping the stories people tell themselves, revisiting core beliefs, and accepting that discomfort can be part of growth rather than a sign of failure. Janice helps clients reframe situations, align actions with their values, and identify supports and self-care practices that reinforce healthier patterns. She also addresses how communication styles and relationships can either sustain or undermine a person’s resilience, and she assists clients in letting go of patterns that no longer serve them.

Over a career spanning long term care, hospice, administrative roles, and mental health practice in group settings, Janice has learned that change is possible at any stage of life. She blends cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Based in Florida and practicing in English, she brings a compassionate, practical approach aimed at helping people course-correct and pursue a life more aligned with their values.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Janice Nass draws on evidence-informed methods that emphasize values-driven change and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters most - this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports clients to explore their own goals and solutions, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is addressed collaboratively. Janice works with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Janice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while still receiving structured, goal-oriented care.
