About Justina
Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and the stresses of parenting and early adult life. She also supports people dealing with trauma, identity and intimacy questions, and career or life-transition challenges.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic styles. She uses attachment-based methods to look at patterns in close relationships. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings client-centered practices that prioritize what each person says matters most.
Sessions may include mindfulness exercises to increase awareness of emotions and body sensations. She attends to spiritual beliefs when clients want that included in their work. Her bio notes experience with perinatal mental health, so she can address pregnancy and postpartum concerns alongside other life changes.
Justina emphasizes practical steps as well as exploring deeper meaning and values. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change or understand. She balances short-term coping strategies with attention to longstanding patterns that cause pain.
Outside of work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. Those interests inform a thoughtful, curious style with attention to both everyday challenges and larger questions about purpose and identity.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on the ways past and present relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this can mean mapping patterns in friendships, family ties, and romantic relationships and practicing different ways of responding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought habits, testing them in daily life, and using practical exercises between meetings to build new skills.
She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The client and therapist together decide which methods fit current needs and goals, and they adjust the plan as work progresses. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and switching focus when something isn’t helping.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people access sessions without travel. Discussing logistics up front helps match session length and frequency to everyday life and work commitments.
