Janice Sowell

Janice Sowell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPC, who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, or low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and offers steady support as clients sort through what matters most to them. Janice focuses on practical change while respecting each person's pace and strengths.

She trained in counseling and human development, earning a Master of Education with a concentration in Professional Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College in 2016. Since then she has built eight years of clinical work across several states and is licensed to practice in Tennessee as an LPC, and also holds LPC credentials in other states listed in her background.

Janice works in a trauma-informed way and often addresses trauma, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and grief. She describes her style as compassionate, authentic, and collaborative. Sessions center on the client's goals and on finding concrete steps that fit daily life.

Her primary orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to match the approach to each person. Janice encourages clients to notice strengths and use them toward meaningful change.

People who want clear tools, honest conversation, and help making steady progress often connect well with her approach. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to bring those goals to the first session.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process difficult memories and reduce the ways past events cause distress now. It aims to make upsetting memories less overwhelming and to build coping skills for triggers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what the client says, and helps the client decide what to try next.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janice will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. The first few sessions are often about finding the best fit rather than committing to a single method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules, allow quick check-ins when life gets busy, and remove travel time. Ask about the specific session options supported so you can choose what fits your routine.
