About Janina
Janina Green is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in the District of Columbia with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked across settings with children, adolescents, and young adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and major life transitions. Janina lists life purpose among her focus areas and often helps people who are asking what comes next after change.
Her style is relaxed and conversational. She lets clients set the pace and focuses on practical steps in session. Janina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts sessions to the needs and goals people bring.
In practice she uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to test small behavioral changes. She also draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions tend to mix talk, skills practice, and planning for real-world moments.
Janina works with common concerns such as stress, self-esteem, social anxiety, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, and self-love as part of those goals. Her focus on life purpose means she often helps people think through career shifts, relationship changes, and next steps after health events.
People can expect straightforward conversation, concrete tools, and an emphasis on setting achievable steps between sessions. To begin, visitors are invited to use the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Janina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and solving immediate problems.She also uses Solution-Focused techniques that concentrate on goals and on practical steps a person can take between sessions. This approach fits well when someone needs to make a change quickly or clarify next steps after a life transition.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Janina discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on the individual's needs, goals, and preferences. She pairs talking with skills practice and short homework tasks to see what works in real life.
The original biography does not list which remote formats are offered. Confirm the available session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone use fewer visual or audio demands if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can adapt the same evidence-based techniques used in person to work in remote sessions, and Janina will help decide the best format for practical life needs.
