Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults navigating the emotional and practical impact of change, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness or disability, relationship concerns, and work-life balance stress. When life shifts in unexpected ways, it can stir fear, uncertainty, doubt, and sometimes a sense of feeling stuck. Her work centers on helping people focus on what can be influenced: their responses, choices, and the meaning they make of difficult experiences.

In therapy, Janice helps clients step back and reframe situations so they can notice unhelpful inner narratives and consider new perspectives that better align with their needs. She also explores core beliefs about the self and the world, especially when distress is tied to living out of sync with personal values. Janice emphasizes that discomfort is part of being human and that hard moments do not define a person. Rather than striving for perfection, therapy can become a place to learn, adjust, and move toward what matters most, even when the path feels uncertain.

Another focus of her work is identifying supportive relationships and sustainable self-care practices, including examining communication patterns that can strengthen or strain a support system. Janice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered therapy (PCT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring her approach to each individual. With 40 years of experience as a social worker, she has worked in long-term care and hospice as both a social worker and an administrator, and as a mental health practitioner in group practice settings. She brings a steady belief that it is never too late to begin again, try something new, and create a life that feels more intentional and fulfilling.
