About Janet
Janet Stone-Nielsen is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She helps people struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, and related concerns. Her approach is warm, practical, and rooted in meeting each person where they are.
She focuses on clear, doable steps rather than jargon. Janet works with people coping with trauma, including domestic and sexual abuse, and the problems those experiences can cause. She also addresses depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and career or economic stress.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how past losses and attachment patterns affect daily life. In sessions she uses a person-centered, empowerment-focused style. Janet offers psychoeducation so people can spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to break cycles of anxious thinking and behavior. Janet also integrates trauma-focused methods, including EMDR-informed work, when appropriate. She supports people working through complex reactions such as dissociation, codependency, or compassion fatigue.
She can also consult with other professionals about self-care and burnout. Based in North Carolina, Janet holds an LCSW and draws on long clinical experience to shape practical plans. Sessions aim to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and make steady changes that fit their life and goals.
How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the relationship and on helping people feel heard. Online sessions let Janet follow each person’s pace while offering encouragement and practical suggestions for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed problems; it often uses short exercises and homework that fit well into video or text sessions.Trauma-focused work, including EMDR-informed methods, addresses distressing memories and reactions that come from past harm. In an online setting these methods are adapted into clear steps and pacing so people can move through difficult material at a manageable speed. The therapist and client decide together when to try specific trauma approaches and how to layer them with coping skills work.
Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and working with body-based or eye movement approaches. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when a written format helps someone reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
