About Janita

Janita Ramar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction concerns, ADHD, trauma, and related life difficulties.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship from the start, helping clients feel heard while collaborating on goals that reflect their priorities and values. Janita frames treatment around empathy and unconditional positive regard, inviting clients to take an active role in their healing and to explore practical coping skills that support lasting change.

Her counseling style blends strength-based, person-centered, and solution-focused principles with evidence-informed methods. Early sessions prioritize building rapport and clarifying what the client hopes to address, then introduce techniques tailored to those objectives.

Over an 11-year career she has supported people through grief, intimacy and relationship challenges, sleep and anger concerns, substance use and codependency issues, and mood and panic-related difficulties. Janita aims to be a steady, accepting presence while helping clients identify actionable steps toward improved coping, communication, and overall wellbeing.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Janita uses evidence-based methods to guide online work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people clarify their values and build willingness to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing mood, panic, sleep disruption, and many everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of her process. She will discuss different methods, explain how they might fit the client’s goals, and adapt techniques based on feedback and progress so the work stays aligned with individual needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats let clients participate from varied locations and fit therapy into busy schedules while still engaging in structured, goal-oriented work with a licensed professional.
