About Juanita
Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults 18 and over on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting stress, and anger. She aims to join clients in practical problem solving rather than offer abstract promises.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people identify what keeps them stuck and teaches skills to respond differently. Sessions focus on building day-to-day tools for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and managing life transitions.
Juanita draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based perspectives. She also uses motivational interviewing and brief, solution-focused techniques to help people set achievable goals. The emphasis is on concrete strategies clients can use between sessions.
She encourages clients to try small behavior changes and notice what shifts. Work may include skill practice, checking thought patterns, and clarifying personal values to guide decisions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Juanita keeps sessions centered on real-life concerns like workplace frustration, parenting strain, grief, and the lasting effects of trauma. She works with adults from different backgrounds and focuses on creating a practical plan each person can follow after therapy ends.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with resentment, anger, and making consistent behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for workplace anger, rumination, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that help when strong reactions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that includes skill practice, real-world experiments, and pacing that feels manageable.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, cut travel time, and let people try short check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what works best. Therapists and licensed professionals often adjust exercises and homework so the work transfers into daily routines and reduces the burden between sessions.
