Janita Ramar

Janita Ramar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, substance use, and sleep difficulties. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what is most pressing. Janita works to build trust early so clients feel comfortable sharing and planning next steps.

She begins by asking what matters most and then co-creates goals with each person. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between visits, such as coping tools for panic, routines to support better sleep, or strategies to manage mood swings. Janita uses straightforward conversation and active listening to guide each step.

Her style is person-centered and strength-based, with a solution-focused tilt. She encourages people to notice their abilities and to use small changes to gain momentum. Motivation and readiness for change are discussed openly to shape realistic plans.

Janita draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered approaches. Those methods are explained in plain terms and adapted to each person’s needs and goals. The focus is always on practical next steps rather than jargon.

She values honesty, openness, and unconditional positive regard in the counseling relationship. If you want help with sleep, coping with grief, relationship stress, addiction concerns, or building self-esteem, she can partner with you to set achievable goals and try concrete strategies.
