About Janice
Janice Doan is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maryland. She brings 22 years of experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, mood disorders, and trauma. Her approach is warm and interactive and aimed at practical change.
She has spent more than a decade working with victims of trauma and abuse, including domestic violence. Janice works with adults and children on concerns such as depression, panic disorder and panic attacks, ADHD, parenting challenges, and grief. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
Janice blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior elements help when emotions feel intense and relationships are strained. Client-centered work shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual.
In sessions she aims for clear, practical steps alongside emotional support. Conversations focus on day-to-day coping, communication skills, and manageable goals. Homework and practice between sessions are suggested when helpful.
She encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take small steps. The initial process includes matching, a brief intake, and planning sessions that match the person’s goals. Janice offers an approachable, steady presence while people work toward greater confidence and balance.
How Janice uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It aims to build a trusting relationship and prioritize what the person says matters most, which helps when sorting feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical ways to change patterns that feed anxiety and panic. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone handles stress in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then shape sessions around those needs.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let someone choose a less intensive option when schedules are tight, such as a shorter check-in instead of a full session. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT worksheets, skill practice, and homework to an online setting to keep progress moving forward.
