Janice Brovet, LCSW

Janice Brovet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with more than 32 years of experience. She holds a Master of Social Work with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. Janice has worked across inpatient, outpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and private practice settings over her career.

Her style aims to meet people where they are and start from that point of comfort. Sometimes she looks at past family-of-origin patterns, and other times she focuses on immediate, present-day concerns. Sessions are tailored to what each person brings and what they want to accomplish.

Janice often guides people to change thoughts and behaviors using cognitive behavioral approaches. She also draws on ideas from structural and strategic family systems when those perspectives fit the situation. Her background includes training in alcohol and drug treatment and trauma-focused work.

She pays attention to how social forces such as racism and discrimination affect mental and physical health, and she supports equity, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare. Janice believes therapy can be brief when that meets the need, or ongoing when people want regular check-ins to sustain change.

Janice works to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. She encourages taking the first step and frames therapy as a chance to find greater clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of self.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment, helping people feel heard and guiding them toward their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention exercises to manage stress and reactivity.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Janice works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She may combine ideas from different approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find video useful for face-to-face connection, while others prefer audio-only for a lower-bandwidth option; discuss preferences when scheduling so sessions fit everyday life.
