Justina Janda, LCMHC

Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years of experience and offers a warm, compassionate presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach is holistic and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help people feel heard and understood from the start.

Justina blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care to focus on how relationships and early experiences shape feelings and patterns. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and existential perspectives are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person’s goals.

Sessions often include practical skills practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and attention to spiritual or meaning questions when those matter to the client. She also uses mindfulness exercises to increase awareness of emotions, body sensations, and thinking habits. Therapy is shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her listed focus areas include a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse. She likewise notes additional attention to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.

Outside work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and studies the overlap of psychology and spirituality. Those interests inform a curious, grounded style in sessions.

How her approaches guide online work

Justina uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change patterns that cause distance or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining skills practice, reflective conversation, and attention to meaning or spiritual concerns when relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule around work, childcare, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without being on camera if that suits someone better. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep continuity of care while adapting to everyday schedules.
