About Justina
Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a calm, attentive presence to sessions. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s most urgent to them.
She blends body-focused work with talk therapy to help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body. Her approach includes attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening, along with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
This mix helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, and relationship strain. Justina often supports people facing grief, parenting strain, identity and intimacy concerns, and work or career stress. She also helps with challenges like codependency, abandonment wounds, dissociation, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions pay attention to how past experiences shape present choices and feelings. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then offers exercises or practices you can try between sessions.
Mindfulness and simple body-awareness practices are often included to build coping skills that feel useful day to day. Outside of work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. Those interests inform a grounded, curious approach in the room and help her stay connected to real-life challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Somatic-informed work focuses on awareness of body sensations and how they link to emotions and stress; online sessions may include guided breathing, grounding, and simple movement or noticing exercises to help people feel more present. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape expectations; this approach helps folks understand current relationship struggles and build safer ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own pace and goals; it supports people who need a steady, validating space to make sense of their feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss options, and adapt methods over time. Together you decide which techniques feel most useful and relevant to your goals.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove video pressure, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short-form check-ins or reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to practice new skills in everyday life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
