How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Janice uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves identifying specific triggers, practicing brief exercises, and adding small behavior changes that lower day-to-day distress. Another approach helps people process grief and loss through structured conversations about the loss, identifying emotions, and developing routines that support adjustment over time. These methods are aimed at making problems easier to manage and improving day-to-day functioning.Working out the best approach is collaborative. Janice will discuss what has and hasn't helped before, the client's goals, and any preferences about how to work. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what is most useful.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to continue care after a move or during busy periods. A licensed professional will explain the practical steps to arrange sessions once format options are confirmed.
