About Stefanie
Stefanie Janes is a Michigan licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience helping adults handle stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career decisions, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as isolation, mood changes, postpartum depression, and challenges related to autism and caregiver stress.
She focuses on practical, person-focused conversations rather than medical jargon. Sessions look at the full context of a person’s life - emotions, relationships, daily routines, and values. Stefanie aims to help people identify small, achievable steps to feel more capable and to manage day-to-day pressures.
In practice she leans on humanistic ideas and whole-person thinking. That means conversations consider thoughts, feelings, and behavior together. It also means attention to how work, family, and life transitions affect wellbeing.
People often come for help with concrete problems like moving to college, starting a first job, parenting stress, or feeling stuck after a major life change. Stefanie works with clients to set clear goals and to build coping tools that fit everyday life.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. Stefanie offers a steady, respectful approach and focuses on practical skills and clearer perspective. She encourages pacing that matches each person’s needs and readiness.
How Stefanie uses evidence-based techniques online
Stefanie describes her practice as grounded in humanistic and whole-person thinking alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common technique focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them against everyday experiences to reduce anxiety and social worry. This approach helps with social anxiety, self-doubt, and negative thinking that gets in the way of daily life.Another frequently used method teaches concrete coping skills such as breathing practices, behavioral experiments, and activity planning to lift mood and manage overwhelm. These practical tools are useful for stress, low motivation, postpartum mood changes, and adjusting to new roles like parenting or a new job.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different techniques and decide together which ones match the client’s goals, life demands, and preferences. That collaborative process continues as needs change over time.
