About Justina
Her style is warm and practical. She aims to make people feel seen and heard. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and build on their strengths.
Justina helps people with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship problems, and big life transitions. She also supports people facing parenting stress, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and career or purpose questions.
Her clinical approach draws from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and existential perspectives. In practice this means she pays attention to relationship patterns, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and teaches coping skills for intense emotions.
Outside of therapy she spends time with her toddler, gardens, and reads about psychology and spirituality. These activities shape how she connects with people and keeps her curious about new ways to support healing.
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting when they feel stuck. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance; the therapist follows the person's lead and creates space to explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as life changes and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits someone's schedule. It can also let a person choose whether to include mindfulness exercises or skills coaching in ways that match their daily routine. Licensed professionals aim to adapt methods so therapy remains practical and usable in everyday life.
