About Janet

Janet Nestor is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 23 years of experience supporting people through complex emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She practices with an informal, client-centered stance that prioritizes each individual's pace and preferences while drawing on cognitive and somatic methods to address symptoms such as anxiety, panic, stress, mood instability, and addictive behaviors. Janet’s background in special education informs her understanding of neurodiversity and learning differences and contributes to an empathetic, practical way of working.

Her experience includes helping clients navigate trauma, grief, relationship and family difficulties, coping with chronic illness, and transitions related to career and life changes. Janet brings particular familiarity with ADHD and related neurodevelopmental concerns through earlier work in special education and ongoing clinical focus.

She tends to work collaboratively to build strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning, using mindfulness and solution-focused techniques alongside emotionally oriented interventions. Clients can expect an approachable therapist who emphasizes listening, mutual respect, and individualized treatment planning.

Based in North Carolina, Janet combines years of hands-on experience with a flexible therapeutic style aimed at meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer coping, greater self-understanding, and practical change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Janet integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to support change in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that encourages clients to explore concerns at their own pace and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that can help with rumination, emotional regulation, and coping with chronic health challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs during early sessions and adjust methods as treatment progresses so the work aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue work during life transitions. These formats allow consistent access to a licensed professional from home or other convenient locations and support ongoing skill-building and follow-up between more in-depth conversations.
