Juanita Haskins

Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on creating a warm, accepting atmosphere and builds a collaborative relationship with each person she sees. Her work centers on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to make changes. She aims to help clients find practical ways to cope so life becomes more manageable and rewarding.

Juanita draws on a mix of techniques to match each person's needs. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based work, and client-centered methods. She blends these with brief, solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to make a tailored plan.

Areas she commonly addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and communication problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses noted are caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Sessions emphasize skill building, clearer thinking, and practical tools clients can use after therapy ends. Juanita invites adults 18 and over to explore new behaviors, manage triggers, and create meaning amid life transitions. She describes working with people from many backgrounds as a privilege and aims to make the therapy room a supportive place to grow.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Juanita encourages a collaborative approach to set goals and to choose strategies that fit each person’s life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small actions toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, panic, or low mood. It is practical and skills-oriented. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop steadier ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juanita will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a blend of approaches and checking in regularly to see what is helping.

The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in during a lunch break. It can also let people use tools learned in session directly in their own routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions so clients keep building skills between meetings.
