About Stefanie
Stefanie Janes is a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and social anxiety and phobia. She supports individuals facing life transitions such as moving from K-12 to college and navigating changes in work or family roles.
She emphasizes a humanistic view that looks at the whole person - mind, body, emotions, relationships, values, and life circumstances. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps rather than labels. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match what the client can handle.
In therapy she helps people set clear goals and build coping tools they can use between sessions. Typical work may include skills for managing anxious reactions, practicing new ways to communicate, and breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps. She also addresses grief, mood shifts, and the effects of major life events.
Stefanie has particular experience with caregiver stress, family of origin issues, postpartum challenges, and concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. She also works with people dealing with isolation, guilt, sexual questions, and seasonal mood changes.
Sessions are offered in English from Michigan. Before a first visit, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Stefanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal strengths. One common approach involves teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress management, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce avoidance and help people practice new responses in everyday life.She also uses person-centered, humanistic ideas that concentrate on values, relationships, and meaningful goals. That work helps clarify what matters most and guides decisions about small, achievable changes. For mood-related concerns, she applies interventions that address sleep, routine, and activity scheduling to lift motivation and steadiness.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Stefanie works with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. She discusses options openly and adjusts strategies based on what helps in day-to-day life.
