Janice Brovet , LCSW

Janice Brovet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 32 years of experience providing psychotherapy in North Carolina. She holds a Master of Social Work with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and private practice settings.

Janice meets people where they are and starts there. Sessions may focus on current problems, or on family of origin issues when that helps reach goals. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through openly.

Her approach often helps people change thoughts and behaviors using cognitive-behavioral techniques. Janice also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's needs, and she brings trauma-informed ideas when past harm is part of the picture. She pays attention to how broader social issues like racism and discrimination affect mental and physical health.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and parenting issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and coping with life changes.

Janice believes therapy can be short-term or ongoing depending on what a person wants. She helps people set realistic goals and checks progress along the way. For many, a few sessions can resolve a problem; for others, regular work provides support and accountability.

Approaches that fit online care

Client-centered work focuses on your concerns and preferences. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a plan that feels right for the person in front of the therapist. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set their own direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges because it produces specific strategies people can use between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. It can be helpful for people coping with overwhelming emotions, chronic pain, or recurring negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one fixed method. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows quick ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that works best for each situation.
