About Janice

Janice Miles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and navigating life changes.

Background and approach

She also offers focused support around sexuality topics including BDSM and kink, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, sexual assault and abuse, sexual dysfunction, sex addiction, and broader questions of sexuality and young adult issues.

Drawing on a pragmatic, goal-oriented stance, she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused strategies and trauma-informed care to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward practical change. Her style emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that centers the client’s values and goals while using evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs.

Licensed in Massachusetts as an LMFT (MA LMFT 1879, MI LMFT 4101006775), she has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and in-home settings and brings training in sexual health and trauma-related interventions to clinical work. Janice aims to help clients understand family influences, clarify what motivates them, and apply that insight to create healthier, more satisfying lives.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Janice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impacts of past traumatic events, offering structured strategies to process memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms while prioritizing pacing and safety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and together they will tailor methods and pace to fit what feels most useful and realistic for the client.

Online therapy formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and communication. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, try different ways of working that suit daily life, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located in Massachusetts.
