Janice has been incredible. She is so easy to talk to and you can tell that she really cares about what you have to say on any topic. Janice has certainly helped me with the issues I was struggling with internally and finding difficult to vocalize. Anyone who works with Janice will be grateful for her time, effort and understanding. I wasn't sure what to expect from virtual therapy, but am very glad that I went through this process.
More about Janice
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice since 2013. I am originally from California and received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I moved to Boston, MA in 2010 and earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Boston College. I spent 10 years living in Boston and worked at several Harvard hospitals in various clinical settings including: outpatient psychotherapy, inpatient psychiatry , and general-medicine inpatient units. Through professional work and lived experience, I developed a unique ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life stages. Additionally, through my experience as a hospital-based clinical social worker, I became particularly keen to the stressors that affect adults in high pressure jobs such as healthcare workers, academic roles, and individuals in leadership roles. I have transitioned to South Florida in 2020 and have continued my work as a therapist.
I work with individuals affected by a range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, family dynamic issues, relationship issues, racism and discrimination, geriatric/end of life issues, and parenting issues. I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds and am comfortable attending to the unique challenges that surface at different life stages. My overall therapeutic approach is integrative, with a focus on CBT as it can be applied in many settings. I strive to create an open environment where clients can speak freely about their struggles with the assurance that this information will be received with compassion. I am empathic, reflective, and non-judgmental, and focus on abilities and strengths as a tool for healing and empowerment. The goal of therapy is to empower you to become the best version of yourself through hard work and consistency, and I am confident that we can accomplish that together.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
