Janice Brovet, LCSW

Janice Brovet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than three decades of experience. She practices psychotherapy in North Carolina and draws on a long career in inpatient, outpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and private practice settings.

Her approach is flexible and straightforward. She meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most right now. Sometimes sessions look at past family patterns, and other times they concentrate on current stresses and daily struggles.

Janice often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of living well. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and to develop helpful coping habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want practical steps and clear goals.

She has a master’s degree in social work with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy and completed additional training in alcohol and drug treatment and trauma work. Her background includes work with children, adolescents, couples, individual adults, stepfamilies, and older adults across many care settings.

Janice pays attention to the wider effects of societal issues such as racism and discrimination on mental and physical health. She supports equity, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare and aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can share thoughts and feelings and try out new ways of coping.

She also believes therapy can be brief or ongoing depending on goals. Some people find a few focused sessions enough, while others use regular check-ins to support long-term change.

How Janice’s Approaches Work Online

Janice commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that increase stress or depression. CBT often involves tracking patterns, trying new behaviors, and reviewing what works over several sessions. Client-centered therapy is also part of her work and focuses on listening, validation, and helping people find their own solutions through a respectful therapeutic relationship. Mindfulness therapy appears in sessions as simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan and works with the client to find better ways forward together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when a written reflection feels more helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
