About Juanita
Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Her aim is to build a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what matters most to them and take steps toward change.
She emphasizes practical tools that can be used day to day. Sessions often focus on new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, and small behavior changes that add up.
Background and approach
Juanita combines structured techniques with a warm, client-centered attitude to keep work focused and manageable. Many sessions address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing life transitions, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and issues around attachment and communication.
Her approach adapts to the problem at hand while keeping the client's goals central. Juanita draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based methods, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build practical plans. She uses attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered listening to help people feel heard and understood.
The result is an integrative approach aimed at real-life improvements. Sessions are offered from Virginia and conducted in English. Work is for adults age 18 and over.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship stresses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Juanita treats therapy as a collaboration and will work with each person to test methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She may mix techniques so sessions stay practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quicker check-ins. Live chat and messaging make it easier to keep continuity between sessions and to get shorter support during busy days. These options aim to make scheduling easier and therapy more flexible for adults balancing work, caregiving, or health needs.
