Janiece Foust, LCSW

Janiece Foust is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and addictions. She also supports those dealing with relationship trouble, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and the challenges of life transitions. Her approach is practical and person-centered, aimed at making everyday coping feel more manageable.

With 22 years of experience, she brings steady clinical practice to common life struggles. Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on strategies. She uses conversational work alongside tools you can try between meetings to track progress and build new habits.

Her background includes long-term therapy work across many settings, where she has supported people through things like caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, domestic violence recovery, and substance use concerns. She draws on multiple ways of working rather than a single method, tailoring methods to each person’s needs.

Janiece uses Client-Centered techniques to follow the client's lead and build trust. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness practices are added when people want help with change steps or stress reduction.

People will find a calm, practical therapist who focuses on what can help in daily life. She encourages small steps, checks in on how tools are working, and adjusts the plan as needed to match each person’s goals and pace.

How Janiece’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means conversations that center what matters most to the person and a gentle pacing that builds trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces simple exercises to change patterns that get in the way. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with one approach and adding skills or strategies from others as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face interaction while others prefer phone for a simpler check-in. The therapist will discuss what format suits your schedule and what will best support your goals.
