Janice Jones , LMSW

Janice Jones is a Michigan-licensed LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with 24 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. She also has experience working with depression and a range of related concerns, including abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, codependency, control issues, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, impulsivity, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Janice approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can be used to overcome challenges. She works collaboratively to identify goals, build practical skills, and increase confidence so clients can move toward a more satisfying and functional life. Seeking help is a courageous step, and Janice offers supportive, empowering guidance to help people take those first steps and sustain change over time.

Her practice emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs, with a focus on helping people develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and enhance day-to-day functioning in ways that align with their values and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Janice uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's situation. One emphasis is on skills-focused cognitive and behavioral strategies that help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and anger. These approaches aim to produce concrete tools clients can use in daily life.

Another key aspect of her work is a strengths-based, empowerment approach that centers the client's experience. This method highlights existing resources, boosts motivation and confidence, and supports gradual, sustainable change by building on what already works for the individual.

She also applies family- and parenting-focused interventions when appropriate, helping caregivers and blended families develop communication patterns, boundary-setting skills, and strategies to manage behavioral or mood-related challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Janice works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques together so the plan feels like a good fit. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access therapists without travel. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, effective support across different formats.
