About Justina

Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, anger, and other life changes. Sessions include conversation and practical strategies to help people notice patterns and respond differently to difficult moments.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current reactions. She also draws on client-centered methods that focus on how the person experiences things in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools appear in her work for skills such as emotion regulation and shifting unhelpful thoughts.

Justina says spiritual beliefs can be part of therapy when clients want that. She includes mindfulness practices to help people pay attention to body sensations, emotions, and thought patterns. That often leads to clearer choices instead of automatic reactions when anger or overwhelm shows up.

Her background includes experience with trauma, perinatal mental health, grief, and career and identity concerns. Justina helps people facing existential questions as well as more practical problems like communication and parenting strain. She blends talking with concrete exercises that can be used between sessions.

Outside of work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. Those interests inform a down-to-earth approach that aims to keep sessions focused and useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Justina uses attachment-based ideas to notice how past relationship patterns influence current reactions. That approach looks at how people connect, withdraw, or react when they feel threatened and helps name those patterns for clearer choices.

She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the client’s experience in the moment. Sessions using this approach emphasize listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adds brief, action-oriented techniques for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood issues.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than promising one fixed method.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these conveniences to help sessions be more practical for everyday life.
