Janet Haywood, LISW, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker based in North Carolina, with additional licensure in South Carolina as a Licensed Independent Social Worker. With 10 years of experience, she provides talk therapy in English and supports adults navigating concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and anger management. She also has experience working with mood-related diagnoses including bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, and postpartum depression, and she helps clients clarify symptoms, goals, and day-to-day challenges as they move toward meaningful change at their own pace.

Her work is grounded in a client-centered style that emphasizes respect, collaboration, and a steady therapeutic relationship. Janet draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and motivational interviewing to help clients better understand patterns that keep them stuck and to practice skills that support coping and emotional balance. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly while building insight and practical tools for growth.

In addition to her core areas of focus, Janet has experience supporting concerns related to coping with life changes, self-care, caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and pregnancy and childbirth. She welcomes questions and works to provide care that is both professional and compassionate.
