About Juanita
Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She aims to build a calm, accepting space where people feel heard and can begin to make small, practical changes.
Her work focuses on real problems that get in the way of daily life, such as panic, obsessive thinking, grief, addiction, and depression. Juanita uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people notice what matters and take values-based steps. In sessions she keeps language plain and practical.
Conversations move toward clear coping skills and short-term strategies, with attention to longer-term goals. She supports people through career shifts, academic stress, caregiving burdens, and major life changes. Her practice includes work on relationship patterns, attachment concerns, anger, self-esteem, and complicated grief.
Juanita also helps people facing chronic illness, end-of-life caregiving, and substance use challenges. She aims to teach skills that people can use after therapy ends. Juanita works with adults age 18 and over from Virginia.
Sessions are offered in English and are available in multiple online formats to fit different schedules. She encourages a collaborative process to find the right path forward.
How Juanita’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Juanita uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. CBT sessions often include clear exercises and home practice that work well over video or messaging.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take meaningful actions even when emotions are strong. ACT tools like values clarification and short behavioral experiments fit into phone check-ins or brief text-based coaching.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juanita collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She helps set practical steps, adjusts strategies over time, and checks in about what feels useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full therapy sessions and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or schedule is tight. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief coaching, skill reminders, and working through momentary stress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working until a good fit is found.
