Juanita Haskins, LPC

Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, accepting space and builds a collaborative relationship so adults can tackle problems that feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical changes and steps clients can use right away.

Juanita helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and substance use concerns. She also works with those facing grief, trauma, parenting strain, caregiving stress, anger, and self-esteem issues. Her practice includes support for chronic illness, end-of-life caregiving, and the emotional effects of life transitions.

Her work leans on cognitive behavioral approaches along with acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed methods. She draws from client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies too, choosing techniques that fit each person. The aim is to develop useful skills and clearer thinking in day-to-day life.

In sessions she focuses on learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful patterns, and setting realistic short-term goals. She emphasizes workable tools that people can keep using after therapy ends. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.

Juanita sees adults 18 and older. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Juanita commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on recognizing and shifting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven goals and learning to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action toward a chosen life.

She also brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and stress responses. Together with the client she will consider which approach or mix of approaches fits best, based on the person's goals and preferences. That choice is a collaboration rather than a fixed prescription.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messages work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different schedules and daily routines, while keeping the focus on practical skills and goals.
