About Janet
Janet Stone-Nielsen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience who helps people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.
Background and approach
She brings a warm, compassionate presence and begins by meeting clients where they are, tailoring support to each person’s current needs and priorities. Her background includes extensive training in trauma work, especially related to domestic and sexual abuse, and she draws on that experience when addressing PTSD, grief, codependency, and other issues that can follow traumatic events.
Janet integrates person-centered and empowerment-oriented methods with practical psychoeducation to illuminate patterns and promote lasting change. Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and recently added training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
She also provides clinical supervision focused on self-care and compassion fatigue for other professionals. Based in North Carolina, Janet works with English-speaking clients and offers multiple online formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and fosters empowerment; this approach helps people feel heard and builds a foundation for exploring change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and day-to-day challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact through structured, trauma-focused techniques.Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt methods over time so care aligns with what’s proving most helpful. That collaborative planning helps ensure therapy stays relevant and responsive to changing priorities.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increases flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or medical needs. These online options let clients maintain continuity of care without travel, choose a format that fits their communication style, and access regular support on a schedule that suits them.
