Janiece Foust, LCSW

Janiece Foust is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, and she focuses on creating a steady, respectful space to talk and plan next steps.

She blends straightforward, skills-based methods with a warm, client-centered stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often guides sessions when clients want concrete steps to change thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness exercises are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Janiece also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current problems, drawing on psychodynamic ideas when those patterns are important to the work. The result is a flexible mix of technique and listening that fits the person in the room.

Clients can expect clear goals, homework when it helps, and gentle accountability. She works with issues such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and family of origin concerns in addition to more common mood and anxiety problems. Sessions aim to reduce distress and increase usable coping skills.

Janiece holds the title LCSW, which stands for licensed clinical social worker. She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. She emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies so people can return to daily life with better tools and clearer direction.

How therapy approaches work online

Janiece often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stresses. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her approach and emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are a focus; DBT offers concrete tools for handling intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared decision. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that match the concern and adjust the plan over time based on what feels most useful.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for regular weekly sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging let people share brief updates or work through skills between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
