About Dennice

Dennice Janz is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 24 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported individuals and families through a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes. Her background includes work as a psychocounselor and life coach, giving her a practical, goal-oriented perspective alongside therapy skills.

Her style is described as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion without using stigmatizing labels. Dennice integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness approaches, and also draws on solution-focused techniques and the Gottman Method for relational work when appropriate.

She adapts conversation and treatment to each person’s needs and priorities, aiming to collaborate on achievable steps toward improved functioning and wellbeing. Dennice encourages clients who are ready to pursue change to take the first steps and offers support aimed at empowerment and clearer direction through the therapeutic process.

Integrating practical approaches into online care

Dennice commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening to help clients explore values, feelings, and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Dennice works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts conversations and techniques over time, combining structured CBT exercises with supportive, client-focused dialogue when that better serves the person or family.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try short skills-based check-ins between sessions, and fit therapy into busy lives while working toward practical change.
