About Janice

Janice Sowell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Tennessee. She emphasizes a straightforward, compassionate approach and aims to help people address pressing concerns that affect daily family life. Janice works with common problems like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

She received a Master of Education in Professional Counseling and Human Development with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College in 2016. Janice has eight years of clinical experience and brings that background into sessions in a practical way. She says the therapeutic relationship itself is a key part of change.

Janice often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She also draws on client-centered ideas, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy strategies, and motivational interviewing to fit each person’s needs. That means sessions tend to focus on real-life skills and small, clear steps toward goals.

In the room she emphasizes collaboration and honesty. Together with the person coming for help, she explores immediate concerns, identifies strengths, and sets goals that feel meaningful. This practical focus aims to support steady progress toward a more manageable family life and better day-to-day functioning.

Janice offers care focused on compassion and authenticity, and she encourages people to be intentional about change while receiving steady support during the process.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment, helping people feel heard and supported as they make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for overwhelming feelings and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to choose which strategies to try first based on goals and what feels doable. That means starting with clear goals and adjusting methods together as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and DBT skills practice during the week and bring questions back to sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote work while focusing on practical changes that fit everyday life.
