About Juanita
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 20 years of experience in the District of Columbia, Juanita DeShazior focuses on trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and professional coaching. She works with people who want practical help for mood concerns, confidence, and motivation.
Juanita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, panic, social anxiety, and related issues. She helps clients talk through difficult experiences and identify strengths they can use. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps that can be applied between meetings.
Her background includes work with people involved in the judicial system and with professionals seeking executive coaching. That experience informs a straightforward style that blends clinical care with practical skill building. Juanita supports work on communication problems, control issues, and challenges around forgiveness and guilt.
She also helps people facing life transitions such as divorce and separation, and those wanting to improve body image, self-love, and a sense of purpose. Conversations often include problem solving, behavioral strategies, and ways to manage panic or mood shifts.
Juanita believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that existing strengths matter. She encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and more steady functioning. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching and scheduling steps to set up an initial session.

Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions
Juanita works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. These approaches focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and teaching concrete skills. For example, approaches that address trauma help people reduce distress from past events by processing memories and learning grounding strategies. Techniques used for mood disorders and anxiety emphasize behavioral skills, pacing activities, and measures to manage panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Juanita will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session plans and the skills practiced between meetings.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to schedule brief check-ins when needed.
