About Dennice
Dennice Janz is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in Washington. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
Background and approach
Dennice meets people where they are and focuses on clear, usable steps to help them feel better. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
Conversations are warm and interactive rather than overly clinical. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats clients with respect and sensitivity.
Dennice helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and trauma or abuse. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, LGBT issues, bipolar mood challenges, and major life changes.
Sessions aim to untangle what feels most pressing and build simple, practical tools to cope. In session she draws on Client-Centered methods and cognitive strategies to shift thinking and behavior.
She also uses mindfulness to calm the nervous system and solution-focused techniques to set realistic next steps. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for relationship work.
Her style blends conversational therapy and coaching. Dennice will listen, ask direct questions, and help create a plan that fits daily life.
For parents and adults juggling many roles, sessions emphasize doable changes you can try between meetings. Many people come for short-term work to solve a specific problem.
Others stay longer to address deeper patterns. Either way, Dennice aims to support growth and practical progress at a comfortable pace.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dennice commonly blends Client-Centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online work direct and useful. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard while they identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also integrates the Gottman Method when relationship concerns are central. That approach highlights communication patterns and concrete strategies for improving connection and managing conflict. Dennice works with each person to pick the right mix of methods in collaboration with their needs and preferences, so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is helpful for ongoing, flexible support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy days while working with licensed professionals.
