About Janice

Janice Terry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and anger. Her practical, down-to-earth approach focuses on clear skills people can use between sessions.

She draws on methods from attachment-based work and client-centered practice to help people understand their patterns in close relationships. Janice also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. When emotions feel intense she offers strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage them in the moment.

In sessions she teaches coping skills and communication techniques. She helps people with sleep and eating struggles, career stress, parenting pressures, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses trauma, substance use, and caregiving strain in straightforward terms rather than jargon.

Janice emphasizes practical steps - small changes that reduce reactivity and restore everyday functioning. She can help people notice triggers, shift automatic reactions, and practice new responses outside the session. Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, body image, and family of origin issues.

Sessions are conducted in English from Texas. International clients are not accepted. To begin, prospective clients are invited to use the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Janice uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in straightforward ways. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people notice how those patterns show up in anger and conflict. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to test and change unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Janice will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the work as you notice what helps. She aims to balance conversation with practical skill-building so sessions feel useful from week to week.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also let people practice new communication and emotion-regulation skills in real-time between meetings, which can speed up learning without promising a particular outcome.
