- LCMHC
As a licensed therapist serving clients in North Carolina since 2020, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering people through transformative healing, with a deep commitment to addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, work stress, and self-esteem.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, focusing on areas such as communication, life perspective & purpose, maintaining inner peace and personal growth. My work is grounded in understanding the unique experiences of people, workplace challenges, and the nuanced emotional journeys individuals encounter.
My therapeutic style emphasizes self-love, healing from guilt and shame, and developing resilient coping strategies during life transitions. I create a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, build meaningful connections, and cultivate inner strength.
Through collaborative, personalized care, I'm dedicated to helping you discover your inherent worth, navigate emotional complexity, and move toward a more authentic, empowered life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Janae really focuses on listening and applying her knowledge to compare what you’re going through to something else in life that may make sense and be easier to understand
I’m just so thankful to Janae and her presence in my life. I haven’t missed a week of therapy with Janae since late December. This has become a part of my weekly self care routine and it has made such a difference in my life and growth as an individual.
Janae is absolutely wonderful! She holds me accountable, but also validates my feelings and thoughts. She makes me really think about what I’m feeling and makes me dig deep behind those feelings. I couldn’t recommend a better therapist!
One of the best therapist I have ever came in contact with ! If it wasn’t for her I have no idea where I’ll be at right now !
