About Janet
Janet Nestor is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) based in North Carolina with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens 14 and older on concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and family of origin issues. Janet uses a straightforward, informal style that focuses on what each person brings to the session.
Her early career was in special education, so she has long experience with ADHD, learning differences, autism spectrum traits, and physical disabilities. That background informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals. She also has experience supporting people managing chronic illness, Lyme disease, and recovery from substance use.
Janet’s approach centers on client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies as needed. She may include somatic awareness to help people notice how stress shows up in the body.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Janet aims to make it easier to talk about panic, phobias, sleep problems, or career stress. She works with people who feel empty, overwhelmed by caregiving, or stuck in patterns from their family of origin.
In therapy she helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practices small, usable changes. Meetings focus on concrete coping tools, emotion work, and brief strategies to reduce distress. She asks clients about their goals and adjusts the plan as they go.
Janet works in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Janet’s approaches translate to online work
Janet commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings, helping them speak through concerns and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions, and on mindfulness practices to slow down and reduce reactivity. These approaches are flexible and can be mixed depending on the problem at hand. Finding the right combination is part of the process, and Janet will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online therapy helps fit appointments into a busy life, makes it easier to attend when dealing with chronic illness or caregiving duties, and lets sessions be shorter or more focused when needed. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and match methods to what you need in session.
