Juanita Haskins , LPC

Juanita Haskins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience working with adults. She aims to create a comfortable, accepting environment and to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship that helps clients move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed toward practical change and greater life satisfaction.

She draws on an integrative set of methods tailored to each person, primarily using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques, along with other tools as appropriate. Her work centers on helping clients discover new ways of coping so they can take meaningful steps forward when life feels paralyzing or unmanageable.

Her areas of focus include addictions, stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and caregiver stress, anger and self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder and depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment issues, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and control issues, end-of-life and hospice counseling, and impulsivity among other concerns.

Juanita emphasizes empowering clients to develop new behaviors, thoughts, and skills that support long-term resilience. She helps people build insight, create personal meaning, and establish concrete tools that remain useful after formal therapy ends. She works exclusively with adults 18 and over and welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds, viewing it as a privilege to be part of each person’s journey.

Therapeutic Approaches for Flexible Online Care

Juanita integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used to help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values, practice acceptance of difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for coping with chronic pain, persistent stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for addressing attachment issues, family dynamics, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Juanita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to match progress and changing priorities so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - enabling clients to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency, manage care around life demands, and engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable.
