Justina Janda, LCMHC - Therapist in North Carolina

About Justina

Justina Janda is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years of counseling experience and offers a calm, compassionate presence for people navigating stressful times. Sessions focus on listening first, then building simple strategies that fit a person’s life.

She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related problems. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her practice includes support around family-origin wounds, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the emotional effects of separation or divorce. Justina uses several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at connection patterns, Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s experience central, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when those perspectives are useful. Sessions may include mindfulness exercises to notice thoughts and body sensations, practical skills for managing strong feelings, and time to talk through values and life purpose. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels doable for the individual.

Outside of work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and explores the overlap of psychology and spirituality. These interests inform a grounded, curious approach to helping people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Justina often blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address how relationships shape feelings and how thoughts influence behavior. Attachment work looks at patterns formed in close relationships and helps people notice and change repeating ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a fixed choice up front. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and values, adjusting the plan as progress is made and needs shift.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make regular work possible alongside busy days. These formats allow flexibility for frequent check-ins, homework support, or focused conversations and let people choose what feels most comfortable for sharing and practice.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
