About Juanita
Juanita Ross is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 19 years of professional experience and a long background in behavior management. She works with people facing stress and anxiety and those coping with trauma, abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She also brings experience supporting people living with bipolar disorder.
She begins by listening to each person's story and recognizing their strengths. Juanita treats clients as partners in the work and helps them set clear, practical goals.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and focused on small steps that build confidence over time. Sessions typically involve talking through current struggles, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying out new ways of coping. She offers tools to manage intense emotions and to reduce anxiety in daily life.
When trauma or past abuse comes up, she moves at a pace the person finds manageable. Juanita draws on methods that have evidence behind them to address mood symptoms, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, phobias, and workplace stress. She pays attention to how life routines, relationships, and thinking patterns affect mental health.
The aim is to help people find practical changes that make day-to-day life easier. Her practice is based in Montana and sessions are conducted in English. The tone in the room is calm and pragmatic, with a focus on building skills people can use between sessions.
Approaches that guide online care and what to expect
Juanita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that increase anxiety and low mood, and is useful for stress, social anxiety, and workplace problems. Another approach targets traumatic stress and helps people process difficult memories at a pace they control while learning safer ways to respond to triggers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and daily life. That plan can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable longer conversations similar to in-person sessions, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option when a quiet space is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, homework support, or brief coping prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
