Trauma-informed methods, delivered with online flexibility

Janet Stone-Nielsen draws from approaches that help clients feel supported while also building practical tools for change. Client-Centered Therapy starts with where a person is right now, emphasizing respect, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and strengthen self-trust.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on noticing how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. CBT can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma-related patterns begin to shape daily life, because it offers structured ways to practice new responses. For trauma work, she is newly trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an approach that helps clients process distressing experiences in a guided, step-by-step manner.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janet works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify what feels most helpful, and adjust the pace and strategies over time based on needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make consistent support more accessible. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule, energy level, and comfort in the moment.
