About Janice
LCSW-C (Maryland) clinician with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, mood symptoms, trauma, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. Janice Doan focuses on clear, practical talk and uses cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, client-centered, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions.
She has more than a decade of experience with people affected by trauma and abuse, including cases involving domestic violence. Janice meets adults and children presenting with depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, and problems that come with life transitions.
Sessions center on understanding current problems, learning concrete skills, and practicing new responses between meetings. Janice blends exercises that change thoughts and behaviors with skills for emotional regulation and moment-to-moment awareness. She also uses discussion of past experiences when that helps make sense of present patterns.
Parents can expect help with parenting stress, communication problems, and separation or divorce-related issues. Guidance on handling family conflict, isolation, guilt, and shame is provided in straightforward terms rather than labels.
Janice aims to build a collaborative plan based on what a person describes and what is working in their daily life. She explains strategies, sets manageable goals, and tracks progress in short, practical steps.

How her approaches are used in remote work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they can lead the pace of change; it helps clarify values and priorities. Cognitive-behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and daily routines together and recommend which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted based on what helps most during early sessions, and progress is reviewed with practical steps and homework between meetings.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule because it reduces travel and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continued work on skills and therapy tasks during everyday life, while the clinician and client decide together how best to structure session length and timing.
