Justina Janda

Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who brings seven years of experience to her work. She focuses on practical, compassionate care for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She also supports those navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and work or career stress.

She uses a holistc, nonjudgmental approach that centers the person's own goals and values. Sessions integrate spirituality when the client wants that element. Mindfulness tools are used to notice emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and behavior patterns in the moment.

Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and issues tied to family of origin or attachment. She also helps people coping with abandonment, dissociation, divorce and separation, and end-of-life caregiving concerns. Therapy is adjusted to what each person needs rather than following a single script.

In session she combines gentle exploration with concrete strategies. That can mean learning coping skills from cognitive behavioral methods, building emotional regulation habits from dialectical behavior ideas, or focusing on connection and safety through attachment-based conversations. Discussions about meaning or life purpose may draw on existential thinking when helpful.

Outside of clinical work she is a parent who gardens and reads about psychology and spirituality. Those interests inform a curious, grounded style that aims to make therapy useful in everyday life.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on building safety and connection in relationships. In practice this means looking at patterns that form in close relationships and practicing new ways to ask for needs and set boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Both approaches can help with anxiety, relationship problems, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work stays useful and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone join from a quieter room without needing to arrange extensive logistics. Many people find online sessions help them practice skills between appointments and bring what they learn directly into daily routines.
