Juanita Haskins

Juanita Haskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience based in Virginia. She aims to build a warm, accepting relationship where people feel safe to talk through hard moments. Juanita focuses on helping adults move forward when life feels stuck, overwhelming, or paralyzing.

She draws on practical techniques to help people find new ways of coping. Sessions emphasize skill building, clearer thinking, and small steps that add up. Juanita uses elements from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based strategies to tailor work to each person.

Clients who come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes will find straightforward tools to use between sessions. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship or parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. Work often includes learning new habits, changing unhelpful thinking, and practicing emotionally focused skills.

Juanita prefers a collaborative style. She helps people set clear goals and tries techniques that fit each person’s pace and values. The process emphasizes practical steps and insight so people feel more able to handle future challenges.

She works only with adults aged 18 and over. Her approach aims to leave people with concrete tools they can use long after formal sessions end.

How Juanita’s approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when avoidance keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on relationships and how early patterns affect current reactions, which can be useful for communication problems and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick techniques that fit the person and adjust the plan over time, so the work feels practical and manageable.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting sessions into a busy life, saving travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins on high stress days. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to an online setting so people get hands-on tools they can use day to day.
