About Janiece

Janiece Foust is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and mood concerns. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, substance and behavioral addictions, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Janiece aims to make therapy straightforward and relatable so people can start feeling steadier in daily life.

Her approach is practical and warm. Sessions focus on building trust, talking through immediate problems, and trying out simple skills between meetings. She draws on client-centered methods that follow each person's pace, and on cognitive-behavioral and dialectical tools to address unhelpful thoughts and strong emotions.

Janiece also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change. In sessions she helps clients break big problems into small steps they can practice. That includes work on sleep and rest routines when sleep is part of the concern.

Her background is in social work and clinical therapy in Tennessee, and she brings long experience with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and family of origin issues. Janiece encourages a collaborative style where goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

People who choose her often want concrete tools and a steady, empathetic clinician to guide them. Janiece invites potential clients to take a first step and see whether her way of working fits their needs.

Online approaches that focus on skills and rest

Janiece uses client-centered methods that start by listening to each person's priorities and shaping therapy around their goals. This approach is helpful when someone wants a supportive space to talk and make choices at their own pace.

She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and routines affect mood and sleep. CBT techniques can help with changing unhelpful thinking and building steady sleep habits. Dialectical behavior therapy is another approach she uses for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance through specific skills practice.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Janiece will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines approaches so clients get both practical strategies and steady emotional support.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find these practical benefits help them sustain regular work on sleep, stress, and daily routines.
