About Janiece

Janiece Foust is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports people facing addiction, parenting strain, burnout, and codependency. Janiece practices in Tennessee and brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work.

Her style is warm and direct. She focuses on building rapport and trust so people feel comfortable talking about hard things. Sessions usually center on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on learning skills to handle strong emotions and difficult situations.

Janiece uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws from client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage emotions and improve coping.

She pays attention to life transitions, caregiving stress, chronic health concerns, and family of origin issues. People often come for help with boundaries, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Janiece listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and helps create doable changes.

Her work is practical and collaborative. She encourages small, steady shifts rather than quick fixes. If you want a therapist who will listen, offer clear tools, and help you set realistic goals, she may be a good match.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Janiece commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping the person steer the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more useful ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques teach concrete coping strategies like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that many people find helpful for impulse control, relationship problems, and self-soothing.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process may include experimenting with different tools until something fits the client's needs and situation.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on stress, codependency, coping skills, and relationship concerns.
