About Dennice

Dennice Janz is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington. She brings 24 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship friction, and self esteem concerns. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at people ready to make practical changes in daily life.

Dennice uses clear conversation and active listening to understand each person's situation. She does not rely on labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and interactions that affect mood and relationships.

Her background includes long-term work as a psychocounselor and life coach. That experience informs a flexible approach that draws on cognitive behavioral tools, client-centered listening, and solution-focused planning. She also brings experience with issues related to trauma and abuse.

In practice Dennice adapts sessions to each person. She combines reflective conversation with hands-on skills such as thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and mindful awareness exercises. For relationship concerns she integrates strategies from the Gottman Method to improve communication and problem solving.

People who do best with her style tend to want both empathy and practical steps. She supports parents working through parenting strain, people coping with grief or life changes, and those navigating intimacy and LGBT questions. If someone is ready to try a different approach to lingering stress or low self esteem, she offers steady guidance and concrete tools.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and understanding. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them find their own solutions, which can help with low self esteem and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it gives concrete steps to practice between sessions.

The Gottman Method provides tools for clearer communication and managing conflict in partnerships. It offers specific exercises to reduce escalation and increase positive interaction, which can be useful for intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people use audio-only or video meetings depending on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about session formats when you schedule so arrangements match your needs and daily life.
