Janina Green

Janina Green is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in the District of Columbia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and navigating big life changes. Janina also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is steady and approachable. Sessions move at a pace set by the client. She listens, asks direct questions, and introduces practical tools clients can try between meetings. Janina draws on evidence-based techniques to help people notice patterns and test new ways of coping.

Janina uses Cognitive Behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. She pairs that with client-centered conversation to reflect what matters most to each person. Solution-focused methods help clients set concrete, short-term goals and track progress.

Expect clear conversations about what you want to work on and simple exercises to practice outside sessions. Janina often frames problems in terms of habits and thinking styles, then tests small changes to see what helps. She invites clients to reassess goals as therapy progresses.

Her approach suits people who want practical tools and direct feedback while also being heard. The emphasis is on taking manageable steps toward clearer decisions about work, relationships, or personal direction. If someone is unsure what to try next, Janina helps map options and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Janina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. This approach breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and social fears.

She also relies on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and perspective. That means much of the work is conversational - reflecting concerns, clarifying priorities, and deciding what to try next. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, measurable goals and check progress each session.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Janina collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She will adjust the approach as people learn what helps and what does not.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while testing new ways of coping and decision-making.
