About Juanita
Juanita Ross is a Montana clinician with 19 years of professional experience and a long background in behavior management. She uses that experience to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or recurring anger. She also supports people navigating trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the work. Sessions focus on calm, steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
The therapist aims to make the first step feel manageable and to offer practical support along the way. In meetings, she listens for concrete patterns that cause distress. Then she and the client try small, realistic changes to daily habits and thinking.
The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Juanita has many years of behavior management experience to draw on. That background shapes how she helps people break unhelpful cycles and build new routines.
She pays attention to things that affect day-to-day functioning, like sleep, stress at work, and repetitive worries. People who prefer clear, practical steps often find this approach helpful. Sessions can include problem solving, skills practice, and straightforward feedback.
The work is focused on making life feel steadier and more manageable over time.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on changing patterns of behavior and daily routines. One common technique looks at unhelpful habits and teaches small, repeatable skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps when worries, avoidance, or repetitive behaviors get in the way of daily life.Another approach emphasizes processing experiences of trauma and abuse in a gradual, tolerable way. This work usually combines careful listening with coping skills to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. It can help people feel safer in everyday situations and reduce intrusive memories or intense fear responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try, and adjust them as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text works well for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for working through stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns without changing a daily routine.
