About Dennice
Dennice Janz is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Washington. She brings 24 years of clinical experience to talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and questions of intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Dennice aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed. Dennice uses a warm, interactive style in sessions.
She listens without labels and treats people with respect and compassion. Conversations focus on practical change and clearer thinking, not judgment.
Her work blends client-centered practices with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies. That mix lets her help people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and build skills for everyday problems.
She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help calm racing thoughts and increase present-moment awareness. In sessions she collaborates on a plan tailored to the person's goals.
Meetings include talking, practical experiments to try between sessions, and simple tools to manage strong emotions or conflict. The pace and focus adjust to each person’s needs.
Dennice believes therapy is a partnership. She helps people set clear, realistic steps and checks progress along the way.
If someone wants focused problem-solving, calmer reactions, or clearer relationship communication, she supports them in getting there.
Therapy approaches and what online sessions can do
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and putting the person's goals first. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk, feel understood, and shape their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing difficult reactions.Dennice will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative - together they review goals, try an approach, and adjust if something isn’t helping. The aim is to find what actually helps in daily life rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style work, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and apply new skills between meetings.
