About Janet
Janet Nealer is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) licensed in Maryland with 40 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges. Janet also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and chronic illness challenges.
She approaches therapy by treating the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions emphasize listening, identifying patterns, and naming emotions that are hard to put into words. Janet combines practical strategies with exploration of feelings to make daily life more manageable.
Janet uses several therapy styles to fit how someone prefers to work. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotion and connection in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she addresses long-standing relationship patterns. Client-Centered work keeps the conversation focused on the client’s experience.
In sessions she may also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to address thoughts and behavior that keep problems going. Existential ideas help when people face big life questions about meaning or change. The focus is on what clients want to change and small steps that move them toward those goals.
Janet offers work in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step are required before the first session.
