About Janice

Janice Terry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of practice. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood difficulties. She speaks plainly and helps parents and caregivers learn practical skills they can use right away.

Janice emphasizes clear, one-on-one support. She teaches coping skills for stress and anxiety. She also works on communication, boundaries, and motivation to make changes that matter at home.

Background and approach

Her work draws on approaches that focus on relationships and daily habits. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and routines. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to strengthen connections between people.

Janice has extensive experience addressing grief, trauma, addiction, sleep problems, and self-esteem. She commonly helps with parenting challenges, eating and body-image issues, and problems that come from family history. Her practice includes helping people manage life changes and career stress.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online from Texas. Janice holds a Texas LCSW license - TX LCSW 31423 - and brings years of clinical experience to each session. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for worried parents and caregivers.

For parents who want straightforward strategies, Janice focuses on skills you can try between sessions. She encourages small, steady steps and clear communication to make home life more manageable.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and skills

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how people connect and respond to each other. It focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps parents and caregivers build more supported responses with children and partners. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on changing unhelpful thoughts and daily habits. It breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, sleep disturbances, mood, and some behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together choose which methods to try. Plans are adjusted as needs change, making the process collaborative rather than fixed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to connect from home, coordinate around school or work, and follow through on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide regular support and practical tools that fit daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
