Stefanie Janes, LPC

Stefanie Janes is a Michigan licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and big life changes. She supports clients working on self-esteem, career decisions, motivation, and the transition from K-12 to college. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical progress for everyday life.

She approaches care from a humanistic, whole-person perspective. That means Stefanie looks at how thoughts, feelings, body sensations, relationships, values, and life circumstances interact. Sessions focus on identifying goals, building coping skills, and trying small changes that fit each person’s life.

Stefanie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She creates a compassionate space where people can speak openly and honestly without judgment. Together they map out what matters, set realistic steps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Her background includes 11 years of experience working with mood concerns and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with postpartum challenges, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and caregiver stress. Stefanie brings that practical experience into conversations about parenting, communication, and family of origin issues.

She works with adults who want clear, actionable support rather than lengthy theory sessions. People who prefer a down-to-earth approach that connects goals to daily routines may find her style helpful. To start, she asks about current struggles and what a better week would look like, then she helps build steps toward that outcome.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Stefanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques rooted in humanistic values and a whole-person view. One common approach she draws on focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching simple tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions and to improve daily routines. Another approach emphasizes exploring values and personal strengths to guide decisions about career, parenting, and life direction, helping clients connect small actions to larger goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefanie works with each person to identify what feels most helpful and adjusts methods over time. She listens to goals and preferences, then co-creates a plan that can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling around busy family and job demands and fewer barriers to fitting sessions into a weekday or evening. If you are interested in remote options, confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions and to practice new skills between meetings.
