Juanita Haskins, LPC

Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate difficult emotions and life changes. Her approach centers on working alongside clients to reduce overwhelm and build practical coping skills.

She aims to create a warm, accepting space where people can speak honestly about what feels stuck. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented, with the therapist and client shaping the plan together. Juanita uses talk therapy and evidence-informed techniques to help people make small, steady changes.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and stress from caregiving or work. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, chronic health concerns, and end-of-life topics when relevant. The focus is on concrete skills for coping, communication, and emotion management.

Therapy often includes techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-focused ideas, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior work. Sessions emphasize building new behaviors and thought patterns that fit daily life. Juanita helps people find strategies they can keep using after therapy ends.

She works only with adults 18 and over and sees clients from varied backgrounds. To begin, people are invited to complete an intake and discuss what they want to change. Juanita aims to support steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she tailors work to each person’s situation.

How Juanita’s Methods Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action, then commit to small steps that match their values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and substance use issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift toward healthier ways of relating and coping, which can ease relationship strain and emotional reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques aligned with those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful and practical for their situation.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins around work, and let people use techniques in the settings where they live. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused exercises to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and apply them to daily routines.
