About Janice

Janice Brovet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience providing psychotherapy in North Carolina. She holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and has additional post-graduate training in alcohol and drug treatment. Janice has worked in many settings including in-patient, out-patient, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice.

Her approach is grounded in family systems ideas, especially structural and strategic family models.

Background and approach

She starts by meeting people where they are and chooses goals together with them. Work may look at past family patterns when helpful, or stay focused on today’s problems and practical solutions. Janice often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

She has training in trauma treatment and pays attention to how discrimination and societal stressors affect mental and physical health. Equity, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare are important to her practice. She believes therapy can be brief or ongoing depending on the person’s needs.

Some clients use a few focused sessions to resolve an issue. Others choose regular sessions to keep making progress and stay accountable. Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and straightforward so people can speak honestly about stress, grief, family challenges, parenting, addiction, mood concerns, trauma, and other life changes.

Janice brings practical tools and steady experience to help families and individuals find workable steps forward.

How Janice’s Methods Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. It creates space for clients to talk through family and parenting challenges and decide goals that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to depression, anxiety, sleep problems, or anger. It often includes homework and skill practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, to check in after a difficult day, or to maintain continuity when life gets in the way. Licensed professionals can use these formats to share exercises, practice new skills, and keep focused on goals without requiring travel.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
