About Janita
Janita Ramar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, trauma, and relationship or intimacy issues. Sessions are delivered in English and focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Janita begins by building a working relationship based on trust and openness. She and the client set clear goals together and choose methods that match what the client wants to work on. She encourages people to try new ways of responding to thoughts, feelings, and difficult situations rather than sticking only to talk.
Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That mix is used to help with mood disorders, panic, addiction-related behaviors, and coping during life changes. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes.
Janita emphasizes practical skill building. Clients can expect work on coping skills, communication strategies, and routines for sleep and mood regulation. She also spends time discussing how different techniques work so clients can take ownership of their plan.
She highlights strengths and motivation as tools for change. People who want clear, structured steps and frequent feedback about progress may find her approach useful. To begin, users follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Janita uses CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It involves tracking thoughts, testing assumptions with small experiments, and building concrete habits for mood and sleep. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and ADHD-related routines.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing inner experiences without fighting them and choosing actions that align with values. It can help with persistent worry, avoidance, and motivation for change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and partnership so clients can set the pace and focus of sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Janita collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match goals and preferences, and she explains techniques so clients can try them between sessions. This process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.
