About Janice

Janice Brovet is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with more than three decades of clinical experience. Her master's training emphasized marriage and family therapy and she completed additional post-graduate training in alcohol and drug treatment.

Background and approach

Over the course of her career she has worked across inpatient, outpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and independent practice settings, and has experience with children, adolescents, couples, individuals, families, stepfamilies, and older adults. Her therapeutic work is grounded in structural and strategic family systems ideas, and she adapts her approach to meet clients where they are.

Depending on a person’s needs and goals, sessions may explore family-of-origin patterns or concentrate on present-day concerns. Janice often incorporates cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients change thoughts and behaviors, and she has training in trauma treatment.

She attends to the ways larger social factors affect mental and physical health and supports efforts toward equity, diversity, and inclusion in care. Janice believes therapy can be brief or ongoing based on the issue and the client’s preferences, and she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for exploration and practical change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Janice blends cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered principles to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges by building practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore feelings and move at their own pace while the therapist follows the client's lead.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janice works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine techniques or adapt the focus over time as priorities change, encouraging clients to weigh in on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Janice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow regular check-ins when in-person meetings are difficult, and support different communication styles so clients can engage in the way that suits them best.
