About Dennice

Dennice Janz is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 24 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a background in psychocounseling and life coaching to her work, guiding individuals and families through a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related concerns, bipolar conditions, anger, and coping with life changes. Her practice emphasizes respect and a nonstigmatizing stance toward each person’s experience.

Her style is described as warm and interactive, blending several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each client. She draws on Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered principles, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and Mindfulness Therapy to create practical strategies and foster insight.

Dennice frames therapy as a collaborative process that meets people where they are and adapts over time to shifting needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) looks at the mind as composed of distinct parts and helps clients relate to those parts with curiosity and compassion; this approach is often useful for addressing trauma responses, internal conflict, and patterns that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports clients as they explore their values, goals, and personal growth.

Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so strategies evolve as progress and obstacles emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to tailor session length and frequency while making it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and life commitments.
