About Janina

Janina Green is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of experience. She has spent her career helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and big life changes. Her style is supportive and easy-going, focused on listening first and following each person’s pace.

She draws on evidence-based methods to tailor sessions to what each person needs. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Janina aims to help people gain clarity, build coping skills, and feel more confident making choices during transitions.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with children, adolescents, and young adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions. That range informs a flexible approach that adapts to different ages and concerns.

In the room she favors straightforward tools and clear goals. People can expect to talk through current problems, try specific strategies between sessions, and review what works. The pace is set by the client and the plan adjusts as progress is made.

Janina emphasizes practical steps toward better day-to-day functioning. She supports clients in improving communication, exploring forgiveness, clarifying life purpose, and strengthening self-love. For social anxiety or phobia, she helps people practice new skills in manageable steps.

How Janina Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Janina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more adaptive thinking; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and social fears. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a nonjudgmental relationship and active listening, helping people feel heard while they clarify goals and values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janina works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find virtual work helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use therapeutic skills in the context of their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote formats so progress continues between meetings.
