About Janina
Janina Green is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of experience practicing in the District of Columbia. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions address practical problems and everyday struggles rather than only abstract theories.
Janina’s style is easy-going and supportive. She prefers a collaborative pace where clients guide what feels most useful. Conversations are focused on problem solving, clearer thinking, and small steps that fit into daily life.
She uses evidence-based techniques in session, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches look at patterns of thought and behavior, and at short-term strategies to reduce distress and increase coping. Janina also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy when those fit a person’s goals.
In practical terms she helps people work through communication problems, forgiveness, finding life purpose, and building self-love. She pays attention to how stress and life changes affect mood and relationships, and she helps clients try different tools to manage those pressures.
Her work emphasizes concrete skills, regular check-ins, and adjusting plans based on what is working. People can expect a conversational approach that focuses on measurable steps and clear goals. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to schedule an initial session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Janina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and gives practical exercises for everyday situations. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and to find small changes that make a quick difference. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janina will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can be adjusted over time. The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving. They also allow for brief check-ins that require less time and sessions that do not require travel. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and solution-focused strategies to work in remote sessions, and Janina aims to match methods to what fits into everyday life.Areas of expertise
