About Janet
Janet Stone-Nielsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 24 years of experience. She works with people carrying the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and related concerns such as self-esteem and parenting stress.
She focuses on trauma that follows domestic and sexual abuse and the problems that often follow. This includes PTSD symptoms, codependency, difficulties after divorce or separation, and career or economic stress that affect daily life. She also lists support for ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy and body image.
Her approach begins with the person's current needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and respect where someone is starting from. Janet also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to map patterns and try practical adjustments to thoughts and behaviors.
The biography notes work with trauma-focused methods and use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, described as a newer part of her practice. She incorporates psychoeducation so clients can understand patterns that keep pain alive and make different choices.
Janet has provided clinical supervision and supports other professionals around self-care and compassion fatigue. People looking for therapy in English in North Carolina will find a clinician with long experience in trauma and related issues.
How her approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to where a person is right now. It helps people feel heard and gives space to name painful feelings before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It is practical and helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping for anxiety, depression, or self-critical thinking.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is listed as part of her trauma work and is used to process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is often applied when trauma memories continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals, the issues they bring, and what feels workable. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as people test what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt pacing and techniques so the work fits a client's day-to-day life without promising a specific outcome.
