About Janet
Janet Nestor, LCMHC, brings 23 years of counseling experience to her work with people facing anxiety and related concerns. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions relaxed so clients can talk without pressure. She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Her approach is client-centered, which means she listens first and follows each person's pace. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills. Mindfulness exercises and emotionally-focused methods help people manage strong feelings in the moment.
Background and approach
Janet's early career was in special education, where she supported adolescents and adults with ADHD, learning differences, autism, and physical disabilities. That background informs how she structures sessions and tailors strategies for different learning styles and needs.
She has worked with people facing long-term health challenges such as Lyme disease and autoimmune conditions, and she has experience supporting those dealing with substance use and recovery. Many clients seek her help for anxiety, panic attacks, stress, phobias, and sleep problems. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Janet aims to help people build skills they can use between meetings. She meets clients where they are and co-creates a plan that fits personal goals and daily life.
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates a space where people explain what matters most and choose goals at their own pace. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the plan for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. CBT is useful for stress, phobias, sleep issues, and many anxiety-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily routines, then combine methods like client-centered listening and CBT to fit those needs. This means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, coach-style prompts, or quick coping tools between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
