About Janie
Janie Shankle is a licensed counselor practicing in North Carolina. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings 11 years of professional experience to her work. Janie emphasizes patient, steady support for people facing hard life moments.
She focuses on grief and loss and has experience with trauma and abuse. She also helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, self esteem concerns, bipolar challenges, and addiction. Janie works with issues tied to family of origin, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Janie believes people know their own stories and that they already have strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with the therapist listening first and suggesting practical steps next.
Janie uses several clinical methods to guide work, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas. Those tools are adapted to each person’s goals and pace.
She frames therapy as a step-by-step process. Early sessions typically clarify immediate needs and set small, achievable goals. Over time the focus can expand to coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and rebuilding confidence.
People who want a calm, straightforward partner during change may find her style helpful. She invites prospective clients to consider what they hope to shift and to begin with a short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.
