Janet Sohmer, LPCC

Janet Sohmer is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 25 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Janet helps people talk through day-to-day problems and build clearer ways of coping.

She uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. That includes cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, DBT tools for managing strong emotions, and mindfulness practices to steady attention. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can use outside of appointments.

Janet also addresses issues that often sit under surface feelings. Examples from her practice include family of origin problems, codependency, abandonment concerns, communication problems, control issues, shame and guilt, and a sense of emptiness. She helps people untangle those patterns and test different ways of relating to others and themselves.

Her work often involves breaking big problems into manageable pieces. This can mean practicing breathing and grounding skills, experimenting with new behavior between sessions, or challenging thoughts that fuel anger and anxiety. Janet encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who come for help with panic, mood shifts, midlife transitions, or questions about life purpose find sessions geared toward practical coping and clearer next steps. She offers straightforward tools and a focus on skills people can try right away.
