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 common and complex struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. She aims to form a practical, collaborative working relationship with each person she sees.
Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on identifying what keeps someone stuck and on building skills to respond differently in stressful moments.
Juanita emphasizes developing concrete coping strategies. That can mean learning new ways to manage intense feelings, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing communication skills for tense conversations. She also works on problem-solving around life transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness concerns, and issues tied to addiction and relapse prevention.
Practical techniques are paired with quiet reflection about values and goals. People who come to her can expect a mix of skill-building, short-term goal setting, and conversational work about patterns that repeat over time. She aims to leave clients with tools they can use outside sessions.
Sessions are focused on adults and on creating steady progress toward daily functioning and clearer decision-making. Juanita asks people to be ready to try new behaviors between sessions and to track what helps and what does not. Her work is plainspoken and geared to people who want practical change without fuss.
How specific approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns of avoidance that keep anger or resentment bottled up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions this translates to identifying triggers, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing alternative responses for work, relationships, or daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative decision can shift over time as skills are practiced and progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone join from a quieter location. Online work still focuses on learning and practicing skills such as emotion regulation, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness exercises adapted to remote sessions. Licensed professionals tailor pace and homework to what a person can manage between visits.
