About Janet
Janet Stone-Nielsen is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of direct practice experience.

Background and approach
That way clients can try small changes that make daily life easier. Much of her work has focused on trauma, including domestic and sexual abuse and the problems those experiences can create. She also supports people facing depression, addiction, codependency, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
Career stress, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and feeling burned out are also common topics she addresses. Her toolbox includes client-centered approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, plus trauma-focused methods and EMDR. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help people find their own reasons to change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than overly technical. Janet practices in North Carolina and works with adults navigating major life transitions and recovery from past harm. She can explain how different methods might help and will collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s goals and daily obligations.

Online support
Approaches for trauma and everyday stress online
Janet commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address trauma and everyday life struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change relationship patterns. She also works with trauma-focused interventions when past harm is central to a person’s distress. These approaches aim to reduce the power of traumatic memories and teach coping skills to manage strong emotions. Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process where the therapist reviews options and adapts to the client's goals and comfort level. Online sessions let clients access those approaches from different formats. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or sharing thoughts between appointments. Altogether these options give more flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
