Juanita Haskins, LPC

Juanita Haskins, LPC, brings 12 years of experience to her practice in Virginia. She focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by offering steady support and practical strategies. Her aim is to build a calm, accepting space where people can start to make changes that matter.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions emphasize clear tools for coping with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Juanita also addresses stress, trauma, relationship strain, caregiver burnout, and chronic illness concerns.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practices to change unhelpful patterns. Work often includes skill-building around emotion regulation, managing impulses, and improving communication.

Juanita values practical outcomes. She supports clients in developing new behaviors and ways of thinking they can use after therapy ends. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can take between meetings to notice progress and adjust plans.

She works only with adults 18 and over and offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space. If someone is ready to look at habits around substance use, manage strong emotions, or cope with major life changes, Juanita aims to be a steady partner in that work.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT often helps with panic, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can assist people who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeating old dynamics in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked, so clients help shape what works best for them.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoiding the need for camera use when that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach skills, set real-world homework, and review progress between meetings.
