Janet Nestor, LCMHC

Janet Nestor is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens aged 14 and up on problems such as anxiety, stress, trauma, mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, grief, and anger. Janet uses a straightforward, informal style and aims to make conversations easy to start.

Her background began in special education, where she supported adolescents and adults with ADHD, learning differences, autism, and physical disabilities. That early work shapes how she approaches attention, learning, and neurodiversity in counseling today. She also has long experience supporting people with chronic medical issues such as Lyme disease and autoimmune illness.

Janet describes her practice as client-centered. She combines talk-based insight work with cognitive approaches and somatic techniques. That mix is often used to address anxiety, panic, stress-related problems, phobias, and mood changes. Sessions tend to be practical and directed toward what the person wants to change.

She has a history of working with people in long-term recovery and with substance use challenges. Her experience includes supporting those coping with complicated losses, career transitions, and the long-term effects of trauma. She also helps people who struggle with self-esteem, eating or sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions, Janet aims for an easy, plainspoken rapport. She listens for what feels most useful and adjusts the approach as needed. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session kick off the process.
