About Janice
Janice Miles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues parents often bring into therapy, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. Janice also helps people facing intimacy and sexuality concerns, questions about identity, and major life transitions.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Janice uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior.
Background and approach
She draws on solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term goals and build on strengths. Trauma-focused ideas guide work when past harm affects present relationships and parenting. Janice has worked in a range of settings, including in-home, inpatient, and outpatient care.
That experience shaped a flexible approach that fits different life rhythms. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where parents can talk about fears and priorities. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Education in Human Sexuality.
Janice practices in Massachusetts and communicates in English. Her broad clinical interests include family of origin issues, communication problems, and navigating non-monogamous or kink-aware relationships. Sessions focus on practical strategies parents can use between meetings.
Janice helps people build clearer communication, healthier routines, and more confidence in parenting decisions. She works step by step so changes feel manageable and realistic.

Approaches Janice lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches to online care and practical tools
Janice uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or anxiety and offers concrete experiments to try new responses. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how past hurt shows up now, and it provides paced ways to process those experiences and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on short-term problem solving, deeper trauma work, or a mix of both as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls are useful for full discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These formats increase access and let people continue therapy without extra travel.
