About Janice

Janice Miles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and self esteem challenges. She also supports people dealing with depression, grief, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. Janice works with clients around sexuality topics including BDSM and kink, polyamory, sexual dysfunction, and sexual assault recovery. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Massachusetts.

Janice draws on 14 years of clinical experience across in-home, inpatient, and outpatient settings. She blends straightforward strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with brief, goal-oriented tools from Solution-Focused Therapy. When trauma is central, she uses Trauma-Focused approaches to address painful memories and their effects on daily life.

Her style is practical and nonjudgmental. She aims to build a solid working relationship where clients can talk honestly about goals and obstacles. Janice emphasizes clear steps clients can try between meetings so progress carries into everyday life.

She holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Education in Human Sexuality. Those studies inform her work with intimacy, sexual health, and relationship patterns rooted in family of origin. Janice values education and helping people act on what they learn about themselves.

People choose Janice when they want direct skills, clearer communication, and concrete ways to improve mood and relationships. She helps clients identify what matters most and then creates simple, realistic plans to move toward those goals.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often involves homework, which many find useful for building self esteem and reducing anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-directed and concentrates on small, concrete steps that move someone toward what they want. It can be helpful when a person wants quick, usable tools for communication or coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the effects of traumatic events and on skills to manage strong emotions and triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will talk through options and adjust strategies as therapy progresses to keep the work relevant and practical.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also supports consistent skill practice between appointments and allows people to meet with licensed professionals from their home area. Licensed clinicians can adapt CBT and solution-focused exercises for remote sessions to keep therapy active and solution-oriented.
