About Juanita
Juanita Haskins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on creating a calm, accepting space where adults can talk through problems and learn new ways to cope. She aims to partner with clients so they feel less stuck and more able to make changes in daily life.
Juanita draws on a mix of therapies to match each person’s needs. Sessions often include practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing parenting strain, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients spot unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and build tools they can use after therapy ends.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and doable steps rather than long explanations. Juanita has 12 years of counseling experience and uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy as part of an integrative plan. She works with adults aged 18 and over.
In practice she offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the platform process. She communicates in English and practices in Virginia as VA LPC 0701010510.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting driven by them and clarifies personal values to guide action; it is often used when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make decision and movement difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching clear skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, then works to build different patterns in current relationships and coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care from home, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can teach the same practical skills and guide practice online, while making it easier to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
