About Janice
Janice Sowell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing sleeping problems, parenting strains, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Janice trained at Lindsey Wilson College, earning a Master of Education in Professional Counseling and Human Development with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling in 2016. She previously held LPC credentials in Ohio and Kentucky and is now licensed to practice in Tennessee. Her background includes work in trauma-informed settings and crisis intervention.
Her basic stance in sessions is practical and collaborative. She mainly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and believes thoughts shape emotions and actions. She then pulls in other approaches as needed, including client-centered listening, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies.
In the room she focuses on identifying immediate concerns, clarifying goals, and finding day-to-day skills that make a difference. That might mean learning ways to notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns, rehearsing responses to heated moments, or building small habits that improve sleep and mood.
Janice emphasizes working together to choose the approaches that fit each person. She aims to highlight strengths and practical resources people already have, while supporting steady steps toward the changes they want.
How her main approaches translate to online work
Janice draws mainly on cognitive behavioral therapy and also uses dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered techniques. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts that influence feelings and behaviors and practicing new responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems. DBT supplies concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflecting, and building goals together to guide practical changes.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying a method, checking whether it helps, and adjusting based on feedback and what feels useful.
