About Justina
Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings seven years of experience and a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance to her work. She aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for people juggling big feelings and life demands.
She uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often include mindful practices to notice emotions and body sensations. She pays attention to how relationships and attachment history shape current struggles.
Background and approach
Justina helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, issues with intimacy, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. ADHD is listed among her focus areas, and she addresses attention and executive functioning concerns alongside other stressors. She also supports those coping with trauma, loss, and compassion fatigue.
Her work tends to be warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set small, clear goals. Practical skills from cognitive and behavioral methods may be paired with deeper conversations about meaning and values when that fits.
Clients can expect straightforward language and concrete strategies alongside space to process painful experiences. Outside work she enjoys time with her toddler, gardening, and thinking about how spirituality and psychology intersect. These interests inform a down-to-earth approach to growth and healing.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions can examine those patterns and practice new ways of relating to partners or close others through reflective conversation and role exercises.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being listened to without judgment and following the client's pace. In remote work this means creating space to talk, name feelings, and set goals while the therapist follows the client's lead.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to build practical skills. CBT in online sessions often includes short experiments to try between appointments, structured problem-solving, and tracking patterns with worksheets or messages.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different strategies. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills work, relational exploration, or both, and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on meaningful change.
