Janis Hovi

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting adolescents, college students, and adults of all ages navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, and life transitions. I use evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to help clients develop practical tools for emotional regulation and follow-through. My approach is direct, supportive, and focused on long-term growth. I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with skill-building and self-respect.

My approach to therapy is structured, collaborative, and skills-focused. I use evidence-based treatments including CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to help clients understand patterns, regulate emotions, and build practical tools they can apply in daily life. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, and emotional regulation. I focus on reducing self-criticism, improving follow-through, and helping clients take meaningful action aligned with their values. Therapy with me balances insight with clear strategies for change.

In our first session, we focus on clarity and direction. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your symptoms, stressors, and strengths, and we’ll begin identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll collaborate on specific, measurable goals and outline a structured plan tailored to your needs. You can expect a respectful, focused environment where we balance insight with actionable next steps.
