About Janet
Janet Stone-Nielsen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction concerns, and ADHD. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage daily challenges and feel more in control.
Janet focuses a lot on trauma, including domestic and sexual abuse, and the problems those experiences can cause. She helps people understand symptoms like PTSD, sleep problems, changes in mood, and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
She uses practical education to point out patterns that keep problems repeating and to show where small changes can help. Her work combines a person-centered emphasis with cognitive strategies and trauma-focused techniques. That means sessions begin where the client is and then add tools to shift thinking and behavior.
Janet also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Janet has training in EMDR, trauma-focused behavioral therapy, and other trauma treatments, and she brings that experience into conversations about healing and safety. She also supports professionals who face compassion fatigue and burnout, using supervision to focus on self-care and sustainable practice.
Sessions can address parenting stress, grief, intimacy and relationship concerns, body image, chronic pain and caregiver strain. Janet aims to make sessions practical and understandable, so people can try new ways of coping between meetings and track what helps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. Online sessions use that same listening approach to help clients name goals, express concerns, and shape the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. In remote sessions that can mean setting small experiments between meetings and reviewing results together.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each client to select methods that fit the concern, goals, and comfort level. That might mean blending person-centered listening with CBT tools or using trauma-focused techniques when past events are a central issue.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, do brief progress notes, or have quick coaching-style exchanges. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limits and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
