Justina Janda, LCMHC

Justina Janda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems, and lists anger, parenting, trauma, and self-esteem among her focus areas.

She approaches sessions from a client-centered stance, listening to how a person describes their struggles and what matters to them. She brings attachment-based ideas into the work to look at how early connections influence current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping tools.

Justina also integrates existential perspectives when clients are wrestling with meaning, purpose, or life transitions. Mindfulness practices are part of her way of helping people notice emotions, body sensations, and habitual reactions without judgment. These tools are offered as skills people can use between sessions.

In session she tends to keep language clear and direct. Conversations focus on specific situations where anger or distress shows up, what keeps those patterns going, and what small steps might reduce reactivity and improve communication. She also explores how spiritual beliefs or values may shape a person’s choices when that is important to the client.

Outside of clinical work she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. That combination of everyday life and professional interest informs her practical approach to therapy.
