About Janiece
Janiece Foust is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of related issues. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship problems, parenting struggles, and career changes. Janiece draws on 22 years of clinical experience and uses straightforward, down-to-earth conversation to guide parents and families through hard moments.
Her approach is practical and centered on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then offers tools that fit each family’s situation. That can mean working on communication, coping skills, boundaries, or crisis planning depending on what is most useful. Janiece uses several therapy methods to match different needs.
She draws on client-centered therapy to build trust and make space for each person’s experience. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions.
She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit a person’s goals. Janiece holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and practices from Tennessee. Sessions can take place by phone, video, live chat, or text messages to suit busy family schedules.
Her style is calm and practical. She aims to make therapy feel workable for real life, not overwhelming or full of jargon. If a parent wants clear steps and steady support, that is the way she typically works.
How her methods translate to online family and parenting work
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship. It helps parents feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities, whether that is behavior strategies or improving communication.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In online sessions this approach helps parents try small changes and track results between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds practical skills for handling strong emotions and reducing reactive conflicts at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each family to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and schedule. That plan can change as progress is made or new concerns emerge.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions can work when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging let parents check in between sessions or use brief coaching when issues pop up. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into family life.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
