About Janice
LCSW in Mississippi with 31 years of clinical experience, Janice McDermott focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting, ADHD, and related life changes. She lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy among her approaches. Janice has worked in outpatient and inpatient mental health centers, addiction recovery programs, public and charter schools, and private practice. She also supervised new social workers pursuing licensure and has written books on healing and mental management.
Janice aims to begin where people are and help them notice what they already know about needed change. Sessions are described as practical conversations that ground experience through the five senses and give voice to parts of the self that may be stuck. She says the type of session will depend on the person’s needs and that progress is the goal rather than perfection.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across settings and roles. That range has exposed her to many presentations of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. She draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to match methods to a person’s problem, preference, and stage of change.
Janice has authored books titled Healing Mind, Five Steps to Ultimate Healing, Four Rooms for Thoughts: Achieve Satisfaction through a Well-Managed Mind and Healing the Mind Pathway through the Heart, Portal to the Soul. Writing and supervision have been part of her recent work alongside direct clinical practice.
She invites prospective clients to start from current experience, notice small steps, and try ideas that fit their life. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s matching and scheduling flow to arrange a first session.

How her approaches shape remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking action guided by personal values. It can help with anxiety, grief, life changes, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses listening and reflection to help them find their own solutions and voice. That approach is useful when someone wants support making sense of emotions and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests practical strategies to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She describes starting where someone is and adjusting methods as progress and priorities become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt ACT, Client-Centered methods, and CBT exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice tools between meetings and build skills that apply in daily life.
