About Janita
Janita Ramar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and substance use concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Janita focuses first on building a trusting relationship.
She works side by side with each person to set clear, practical goals. Sessions are collaborative and direct, letting clients share what matters to them without judgment.
Background and approach
Her style draws from person-centered and solution-focused approaches. She emphasizes strengths and practical steps clients can use between sessions. Janita also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone is weighing whether to change habits or substance use. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help clients notice difficult feelings and move toward what matters to them. These methods are chosen with each person's goals in mind rather than applied the same way for everyone.
With 11 years of experience, Janita aims to be a steady, accepting presence while clients practice new skills. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, focused on helping people make small, achievable changes that add up over time.
How Janita’s approaches fit with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps toward what matters. It can assist with anxiety, mood struggles, and life changes through short exercises and values-based goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood concerns through practical tools like thought records and behavioral experiments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janita collaborates with each person to see whether ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, or a strengths-based, solution-focused strategy best matches their needs and goals. She will adjust methods based on what the client prefers and how they respond in early sessions.
Online therapy offers choices that make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion and skills practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for quick updates, journaling, or ongoing support between visits. These options let clients choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort while still working toward clear, achievable goals.
