About Janice

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LPCC) with 8 years of experience in Tennessee. Janice Sowell helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral work and other practical approaches to address day-to-day problems.

Janice trained in counseling and human development and holds a Master of Education concentrated in Professional Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College. She is credentialed as an LPC and LPCC. Her background includes work in trauma-informed settings and crisis intervention across a range of mental health issues.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on identifying immediate concerns, setting concrete goals, and building on strengths people already have. Expect talk that connects thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and includes specific skills to reduce distress and manage symptoms.

Janice commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered principles to shape therapy around an individual's experience and on DBT and mindfulness tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She emphasizes practical steps people can take between sessions, such as exercises, behavior experiments, and short skill practices. The work is offered in a way that aims to fit into everyday life while addressing pressing problems and longer-standing patterns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Janice uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that maintain stress, anxiety, or depression. CBT often involves setting small experiments, practicing new skills, and reviewing results between meetings.

She also uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's experience and priorities. That approach means the conversation guides which skills and strategies are tried. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques are used for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building attention to the present moment.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust those choices over time based on what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or letting people use video or phone depending on what works best for them. Discussing practical scheduling and format preferences is part of the first appointment.
