About Janet
Janet Haywood is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Janet speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps for everyday life.
Her sessions often begin with listening and understanding what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She uses client-centered methods to make space for each person to set their own goals.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools she uses to help clients notice patterns and find motivation for change. Janet also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. These approaches are commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and handling life changes.
She can talk through strategies for sleep, rumination, and reducing avoidance behaviors. Her background includes work with grief and loss, postpartum depression, and caregiver stress. She also has experience supporting people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, end-of-life counseling, and feelings of isolation.
Janet includes communication skills and problem-solving in sessions when relationship or family stress is part of the concern. Practical matters are part of therapy here. Janet can use phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their availability.
How Janet’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients decide what matters most for change. This approach supports people who feel stuck and want a collaborative, goal-driven process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build new behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques from these methods together. Treatment choices are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, skill practice, and flexibility for busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while using the methods described above.
