About Justina
Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, relationship strain, and questions about meaning and life direction.
She blends attachment-focused work with client-centered listening. That means attention to how early bonds shape present patterns, paired with sessions that start from the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when helpful to build practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions.
Justina includes spiritual perspectives when clients want that element in therapy. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions, body signals, and habitual thoughts. Those tools are offered alongside conversational work about values, choices, and relationships.
Her additional interests include caregiving stress, fatherhood issues, abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency, and problems that grow out of family of origin patterns. She also supports people coping with major life changes, work stress, compassion fatigue, and the spiritual sides of loss.
Outside of clinical work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. That personal background informs a practical, down-to-earth approach focused on clear strategies and steady conversation.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Justina often uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people identify repeating patterns in relationships. CBT focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety, depression, or anger going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and moving between skill-building and deeper reflective conversation as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Therapists can also adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and attachment-focused conversation to a remote setting so the work remains practical and focused on what you want to change.
