Dennice Janz , LMFT

Dennice Janz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 24 years of experience as a psychocounselor and life coach. She has supported individuals and families managing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, and recovery from physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Dennice does not rely on stigmatizing labels; instead she tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person or family she works with. She integrates several clinical perspectives to meet unique needs, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic principles, psychodynamic understanding, and rational-emotive methods.

Dennice focuses on practical skills and deeper understanding alike, helping people improve coping, strengthen relationships, and navigate life transitions. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and individualized care, attending to both immediate concerns and longer-term growth while honoring each person’s pace and priorities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dennice often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the individual or family and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive environment where people can explore their concerns and build self-understanding. This approach helps with self esteem, relationship work, and navigating life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-oriented method that identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develops concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. For couples and relationship work, Dennice may incorporate elements of the Gottman Method, which focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict, and strengthening connection between partners.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dennice works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify the best fit based on each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to meet with therapists from home or elsewhere, making it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support when juggling work, family, or other commitments.
