About Janet
Janet Stone-Nielsen greets people with a calm, direct style. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience helping adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and manageable for someone juggling busy days and big emotions.
Janet begins by listening and meeting each person where they are. She uses a client-centered stance that focuses on the person’s goals and strengths.
How Janet works
Psychoeducation is a common part of sessions so people can see patterns in thoughts and behavior and make lasting changes. Her background includes long-term work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and the problems that can follow, such as PTSD, grief, codependency, and relationship difficulties.
She also helps people dealing with stress, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and issues around body image and eating. Janet incorporates several practical methods in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break unhelpful thought and behavior cycles.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused work address painful memories and the reactions that come with them. Motivational Interviewing is applied when people want help finding reasons to change. Janet has experience supervising other clinicians on self-care and compassion fatigue.
She offers sessions from North Carolina in English and works with people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support options
How trauma-informed care and practical methods translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual's needs and strengths, emphasizing listening, validation, and collaborative goal-setting. It helps people feel heard and find the pace that works for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into steps, teaching skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets disturbing memories and the reactions they trigger, using structured processing to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories.Choosing the right method is a team effort. Janet works together with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, comfort level, and current needs. She may combine elements from different methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a more involved session is needed. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coping tools between sessions, and people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules change.
