About Justina

Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and family of origin issues among other concerns. She mentions work around trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue as well.

In session she blends conversational talk with focused techniques. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect on what matters most to the person. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early family roles and expectations shape present relationships.

Cognitive behavioral strategies are part of her approach for managing anxious thoughts and shifting unhelpful behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used for emotion regulation and coping skills when stress or anger feels overwhelming.

She notes an interest in spiritually integrated psychotherapy and mentions mindfulness practices to increase awareness of feelings, body sensations, and thought patterns. Those elements are woven in when clients want them as part of the work.

Her background includes supporting people through major life transitions, existential questions, and caregiving or end-of-life concerns. Outside of work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about the links between psychology and spirituality.

How her approaches translate to online work

Justina uses attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns that began in early relationships and looks at how those patterns show up now in closeness, trust, and boundaries. CBT targets troublesome thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short homework tasks that can be done between sessions.

She also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and reflecting back what the client notices about themselves. This helps people clarify how family roles and expectations continue to influence current choices. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early sessions. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences, and adjust over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and skills work between sessions so therapy can connect with everyday life.
