Juanita Haskins, LPC

Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She aims to build a calm, accepting space where adults can talk about what feels overwhelming and get practical help to move forward.

She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, paralyzed, or unable to make changes. Sessions often center on learning new coping skills, managing stress, and reducing anxiety and panic. She also supports people dealing with depression, grief, addictions, and life transitions.

Her approach blends clear, skill-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. She tailors tools to each person and uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques as needed. The approach is collaborative - she works alongside each person to find what helps.

Juanita commonly helps with communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and issues related to aging or hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses anger, impulse control, attachment issues, and co-occurring mood concerns like bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation.

In sessions she prioritizes concrete skills that can be used after therapy ends. She works only with adults 18 and over and conducts care in English. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule an appointment based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thoughts, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and collaboration, giving people space to reflect while the therapist offers support and gentle guidance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they try approaches in a step-by-step way and adjust based on what makes progress toward the client's goals.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also help people use written or video-based exercises between sessions to practice skills learned in therapy.
