About Janice
Janice Quirl is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and stress. Janice uses a calm, steady approach to help people name what is happening and find useful next steps.
Her work often centers on life transitions and the strain of caregiving. She supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life issues, fertility and fatherhood stress, and the wear of compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship and communication problems and family of origin wounds. Janice blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and psychodynamic ideas. That means she pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves, listens without judgment, and looks for patterns from the past that affect today.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Clients can expect a mix of gentle questioning, reflection, and goal-focused planning.
Janice aims to help people build self-love, repair attachments, and find clearer purpose in their daily lives. She practices in Texas and offers services in English. The emphasis is on steady support and workable changes, rather than quick fixes or labels.

Online session options
How narrative and client-centered work translate online
Janice uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they live by and to consider new ways of describing themselves and their problems. That approach can help with identity issues, grief, relationship patterns, and life purpose. Client-Centered Therapy is central as well - she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the pace the person sets to build trust and clearer thinking.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that keep repeating in the present. Together, these approaches help clients and therapist decide which tools to use. Janice works collaboratively to test what fits each person's goals and preferences rather than picking a single method up front.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief exchanges, ongoing encouragement, or scheduling between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep continuity during transitions.
