About Janice

Janice Terry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, depression, grief, and family of origin issues. Sessions focus on teaching coping skills, improving communication, and building clearer patterns around relationships and daily life.

Janice uses practical, evidence-informed methods so people can try new ways of handling old patterns. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current choices. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns, including substance use, sleep problems, and caregiving stress. She also addresses intimacy issues, body image, and career-related strain. Janice helps people set concrete goals and practices skills between sessions to make progress outside the room.

Sessions tend to be directive when teaching new skills, and conversational when reviewing how changes are going. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, skill practice, and planning for real-world situations. The emphasis is on getting measurable, usable tools rather than only talking about feelings.

Janice practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. For people concerned about how family roles, expectations, and early patterns still shape decisions, she offers a clear, skills-based way to untangle those influences and try different responses.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people understand emotional responses and improve how they relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include setting small homework tasks and checking progress between meetings.

Confirm the specific online formats offered before booking, because the biography does not list session types. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose audio-only if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals, including Janice, can adapt exercises and skills training to these practical circumstances so work continues steadily between sessions.
