About Justina

Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strains, grief, parenting stress, and issues around intimacy and codependency. Sessions also address career concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

She brings a person-focused style that centers what each client brings to the room. She integrates clients' spiritual perspectives when relevant and uses mindfulness exercises to notice emotions, bodily sensation, thoughts, and behavior patterns. She mentions perinatal mental health certification to support pregnancy and postpartum concerns.

In practical terms she uses approaches drawn from attachment-based therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and existential ideas. That mix means sessions can include talking through relationship patterns, practicing new ways to cope, and testing small behavioral changes between meetings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Her background includes working with people who feel stuck in patterns of pleasing others or losing themselves in relationships. She also addresses abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, and the strain of caregiving. Many sessions focus on clearer boundaries and repairing how clients relate to themselves and others.

Outside of work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. Those interests inform a down-to-earth approach that mixes practical coping skills with reflection on values and meaning.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions can be a place to name those patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice different responses in real time. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to help people feel understood and to clarify personal values and goals. In an online session this often looks like guided conversation and gentle questioning to help someone sort through what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test new behaviors. That can include short experiments to try between sessions and step-by-step skill practice during meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will pick strategies to try and adjust them based on how things change over time.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit meetings into a busy day. It can also let a session be shorter for a focused check-in, avoid travel time, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent while working on relationships, boundaries, or coping skills.
