About Juanita
Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 12 years of experience. She aims to build a comfortable, accepting space where people can talk about what feels stuck and start making small, practical changes. Juanita works with adults 18 and over and focuses on helping people move past overwhelm and paralysis so they can live more satisfying lives.
She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include cognitive-behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. The goal is simple: find strategies that fit daily life and can be used after therapy ends.
Sessions typically focus on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Juanita also helps people facing addictions, codependency, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She pays attention to how relationships and attachment patterns shape behavior and choices.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Juanita asks questions, listens for patterns, and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting. She emphasizes practical tools - coping skills, behavioral experiments, and clear steps to manage symptoms and improve routines.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space that encourages growth. Juanita aims to help clients build insight, try new behaviors, and leave with tools they can use on their own.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Juanita draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking because it gives clear steps to test new habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present; this can help with stress, grief, and chronic conditions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals and preferences. That plan can change as new needs emerge, and adjustments are made together.
