About Stefanie
Stefanie Janes is a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, career challenges, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions. Stefanie also supports people dealing with postpartum symptoms, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
She describes her perspective as humanistic and attentive to the whole person - mind, body, emotions, relationships, values, and life circumstances. In sessions she listens for strengths and existing resources, then helps people set clear goals and practical next steps. Conversations are collaborative and focused on what matters now.
Stefanie helps clients build coping tools that fit daily life. That can mean short behavioral strategies for anxiety, problem-focused plans for parenting stress, or steps to explore career direction. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and emphasizes skills people can use between sessions.
Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, family of origin concerns, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Stefanie works with issues related to autism and Asperger Syndrome as they affect everyday functioning and relationships.
People who come to her often want concrete ways to manage change and clarify what matters next. She supports planning and skill-building rather than promising a single right answer. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to identify goals and next steps.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Stefanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and coping skills as well as person-centered exploration. One approach emphasizes practical behavior strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood; it helps with panic, social anxiety, and everyday stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. Another approach focuses on identifying values and strengths to guide career decisions and life-purpose questions; sessions include goal-setting and experiments to test what works in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stefanie collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time so the techniques stay useful and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Some formats may also allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when that suits a person's goals.
