Juanita Haskins

Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping adults navigate hard moments. She focuses on practical change and works alongside clients to reduce overwhelm and find clearer ways forward. Her approach aims to create a comfortable, accepting space where people can talk through what’s holding them back.

Juanita prioritizes collaboration. She helps clients identify small, workable steps to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addiction-related concerns. Sessions emphasize developing new behaviors and simple coping tools that clients can use between meetings and after therapy ends.

Her background includes a mix of cognitive-behavioral methods, acceptance-based ideas, and client-centered listening. Juanita blends techniques to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. That flexible approach supports work on depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns, and life transitions.

She also addresses complex and overlapping issues like chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance use challenges. Juanita describes therapy as a team effort where insight and practical skill-building go together. The goal is outcomes that feel useful in day-to-day life.

Juanita works only with adults age 18 and over and practices in Virginia. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel depression, anxiety, or impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort things out.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Juanita works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each person's needs and goals. She tailors techniques as sessions progress so people can try practical tools and keep what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use skills learned in session in their usual environments, which can help make new behaviors stick. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting to keep work focused and practical.
