About Janet
Janet Nestor, LCMHC, uses a client-centered approach that keeps people’s needs first. She focuses on making therapy approachable and practical. Her style is relaxed and conversational to help people feel understood quickly.

Background and approach
Janet helps people manage anxiety, stress, panic, and phobias with tools they can use between sessions. She also supports those coping with depression, bipolar concerns, grief, addiction, and sleep or eating difficulties. She pays attention to how the body holds stress and may include mindful or somatic practices when helpful.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and goal directed while honoring each person’s pace and feelings. Janet prefers to collaborate on practical steps people can try between meetings.
People who are sensitive or identify as empathic often find her style welcoming. She has worked with those facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, first responder stress, and complicated family or life transitions. Her goal is to help people find clearer coping strategies and to feel steadier in daily life.
How Janet Uses Talk Therapy Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and then work toward healthier ways of expressing and regulating those feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and problems. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what needs change, so goals and methods evolve together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent progress.
