Janice Nass, LCSW

Janice Nass is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and Florida with 40 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, parenting pressures, ADHD, bipolar issues, and coping with major life changes. She speaks English and works from a practical, problem-focused stance.

Her approach starts with looking at how change shows up in daily life. She helps people notice the thoughts that make them feel stuck and then tests different ways of responding. That can mean trying small behavioral shifts, changing unhelpful self-talk, or adjusting expectations around work, health, and caregiving roles.

Janice often works on reframing difficult situations so clients see more options. She guides people to re-examine core beliefs that may no longer fit and to align actions with what matters most. Conversations also cover communication skills and how relationships can support better coping.

Practical tools come from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment techniques. Sessions also draw on client-centered and solution-focused practices to set short-term goals and track progress. The therapist style is straightforward, focused on what people can do between sessions to feel steadier.

Her background includes long-term care, hospice social work, administrative roles, and work in group practice settings. That variety informs a direct, experience-based understanding of caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and later-life concerns. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
