About Janiece

Janiece Foust is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who helps people facing midlife transitions and related stresses. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, and challenges around career and parenting. Her approach is grounded in listening first and creating a steady therapeutic relationship.

With 22 years of clinical experience, she draws on a mix of practical techniques and reflective work. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and talking through difficult memories or patterns. She combines hands-on strategies for symptom relief with time to understand deeper life themes that keep repeating.

Janiece uses several methods to match the moment in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and managing intense feelings. Client-Centered Therapy brings the focus back to the person’s own goals and values.

People who work with her can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can try between sessions. She also brings motivational interviewing techniques when change feels stalled. The tone is direct but compassionate, with attention to practical steps alongside personal insight.

Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as trauma, caregiver stress, body image, ADHD, and substance issues. Janiece aims to help clients find clearer direction and more manageable daily routines as they move through life changes.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values and emphasizes being heard. It helps people who need a space to sort priorities and make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors relate to feelings and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change or practical goals are met.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between other obligations. Therapists can assign short exercises to practice between appointments and use focused skill-teaching to help people apply new tools in daily routines.
