About Janet
Janet Nestor is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with 23 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults and adolescents aged 14 and up on concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses eating and sleeping issues, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Janet uses practical talk and straightforward techniques in sessions.
Janet began her career in special education, supporting adolescents and adults with ADHD, learning differences, autism, and physical disabilities. That background informs how she approaches attention differences and neurodiversity in counseling. She has also worked with people who have chronic illness, Lyme disease, and autoimmune conditions, and with those in long-term recovery from substance use.
Her style is informal and client-centered. She blends insight-oriented conversation with somatic awareness and cognitive work to help clients manage panic, phobias, and anxiety-related problems. She often uses mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to build practical coping skills.
Sessions are conversational and aim to match the person's needs and capacity. Janet is experienced supporting people through career changes, divorce and separation concerns, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and the emotional effects of trauma and loss. She also works with first responder issues and challenges related to aging and chronic pain.
Janet works in English and practices in North Carolina. For next steps, prospective clients are asked to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's concerns and preferences. Sessions emphasize listening, reflection, and finding what feels useful to the client. This approach helps people who are unsure what they need or want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and address mood symptoms. It is often used for stress, phobias, and depressive symptoms where skill practice between sessions is helpful.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into everyday life. It can support people coping with stress, chronic illness, or emotional overwhelm by developing steadyer awareness and calmer responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on goals, comfort, and what proves effective in early sessions. That collaborative process helps narrow down practical steps and adjustments.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for flexible scheduling around work breaks or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and somatic practices so they translate well to a remote setting.
