About Janiece

Janiece Foust is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship conflict, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and centered on practical steps people can use day to day.

Janiece draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person's immediate concerns and strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are included when they fit the client's goals.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps people try concrete changes they can test between meetings. That can mean practicing new communication habits, experimenting with different coping strategies for strong feelings, or pacing behavior changes so they stick. Janiece emphasizes skills people can use right away to reduce tension and avoid reactive responses.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with issues tied to trauma, substance use, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship problems. She has treated mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, and concerns tied to family-of-origin dynamics and abandonment. Much of her work involves supporting people as they manage life changes and repair interactions that trigger anger.

People who want straightforward, skills-focused sessions that address anger and related problems may find this approach practical. The focus is on clear steps, real-world practice, and adjusting plans over time to fit what works.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Janiece often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying and testing thoughts that fuel anger and replacing them with more helpful actions. It is useful for workplace stress, mood problems, and patterns that lead to conflict. DBT teaches concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and avoid impulsive reactions.

Client-Centered Therapy is also a touchstone in her approach. That means the therapist listens closely and works collaboratively to set goals. Deciding which methods to use is a joint process based on the client's needs, goals, and what feels useful in practice.

Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Confirm the exact session formats before scheduling since the biography does not list them. Many people find shorter check-ins or video meetings helpful for practicing new skills between commitments. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work when a quick conversation is needed. The therapist and client can adjust pacing, homework, and skills practice to match daily routines so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
