About Janita
Janita Ramar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and substance use concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, intimacy or relationship challenges, codependency, and life changes. Janita welcomes honest conversations and aims to build a trusting relationship from the start.
In early sessions she focuses on connection and clear, practical goals. She asks clients what matters most and works with them to pick steps that fit their life. Her style is grounded in empathy, acceptance, and nonjudgmental support.
Janita blends several practical approaches when helping people practice new skills and coping strategies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and handle difficult thoughts, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and shift behavior. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work guide short-term goal setting and strengthen motivation.
She describes her method as person-centered and strength-based. That means meeting people where they are, naming small wins, and building tools that can be used between sessions. Janita encourages clients to take an active role in planning therapy and deciding which techniques feel useful.
With 11 years of experience working in New York, Janita draws on practical techniques and steady emotional support. She aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and move toward clearer goals. If you want collaborative, goal-oriented help, she invites you to begin the process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janita uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and practice actions tied to those values, which can reduce the power of painful thoughts. She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to improve mood and daily routines. Both approaches focus on small, practical steps that clients can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janita works with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more toward values-based work, skills practice, or brief solution-focused planning.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so homework and skills practice fit into the day. Janita aims to help clients apply techniques in real life and will adapt pacing and tools to suit each person’s routine.
