About Janice

Janice Sowell offers therapy for people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and depression, and other life changes.

Background and approach

She centers the first sessions on understanding each person’s immediate needs and priorities, then collaborates with clients to set practical goals and identify strengths to support progress. Her style emphasizes compassion and authentic partnership while tailoring methods to what each client finds most helpful.

With eight years of clinical experience, Janice received a Master of Education in Professional Counseling and Human Development with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College in 2016. She practices in Tennessee and holds LPC and LPCC credentials.

Janice works from a trauma-informed perspective and commonly integrates cognitive behavioral ideas alongside other evidence-informed approaches to address issues such as trauma, domestic violence, conflict resolution, sexual abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She frames the therapeutic relationship as an active part of change and supports clients in building skills and insight to reach more satisfying, sustainable outcomes.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Janice frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought that contribute to distress and developing practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to explore values, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. Janice aims to learn about each person’s goals, preferences, and everyday challenges and then combines methods that fit those needs. She discusses options openly so clients can weigh skill-based techniques alongside supportive, person-centered work as they move toward measurable goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow the therapist and client to focus on skill building, emotion regulation, and goal setting in ways that align with the client’s life.
