Janice Miles , LMFT

Janice Miles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a thoughtful, strengths-based perspective to work with individuals, couples, and families. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hofstra University, and a Master of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University. Her training includes specialization as a Certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and as a Certified Family Trauma Professional, and she maintains professional memberships with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.

Janice has practiced across in-home, inpatient, and outpatient settings, supporting people with anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and sexual issues among other difficulties. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, dialectical behavioral techniques, sex therapy, and other evidence-based modalities to tailor care to each person or family’s goals. Janice emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship and promote practical change.

Her core values center on family, knowledge, and happiness. She believes understanding one’s family history can illuminate personal patterns and motivations, and that clearer insight can help people make intentional, positive changes to live healthier, more satisfying lives.

Approaches for online relationship and trauma work

Janice uses therapeutic methods suited to online work that focus on skills, goals, and healing from trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and test thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and build practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and on small, concrete steps to reach specific goals, making it useful for relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and coping with life transitions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by offering strategies to reduce symptoms and support recovery while attending to safety and pacing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janice works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques over time so therapy fits the client’s situation and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from the places where clients are most comfortable.
