Hi there! My name is Janita Ramar and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with individuals with a host of mental health diagnoses including (depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders) as well as stress-related difficulties, trauma-related issues, and substance use disorders. The stigma associated with obtaining mental health treatment can be discouraging at times, so I applaud you for finding the strength to seek help and focus on YOU!
My main focus during the initial stages of therapy is establishing a therapeutic relationship which is based on empathy and trust, then working toward collaborating and creating goals based on the client’s needs/preference. I encourage clients to partake in their process of healing and growth while having the platform to share thoughts/feelings freely without fear of judgment. I find it essential to discuss therapeutic techniques and approaches with clients in order to enable them to engage and begin to establish ownership of their treatment. I operate from the stance that a therapeutic alliance that encompasses honesty, openness, and unconditional positive regard is key in promoting progress in a client’s treatment process.
My approach in assisting clients is strength-based, person-centered, as well as solution-focused to name a few. I find it is essential to meet a client where he or she is at and assist them in processing and deciding what they hope to focus on. Being a source of support, acceptance, and trust are qualities that I strongly value and contribute to the counseling relationship.
I am passionate about assisting clients with growing, healing, and ultimately bettering themselves and leading fulfilling lives. I believe that the process of change is largely person-based and levels of motivation play a large role in regulating change. I strongly believe that each client has the ability to overcome obstacles and is able to progress greatly with the development/utilization of coping skills, and having empathetic support from a dedicated therapist which I hope to be for you.
You have already taken ownership of your therapeutic process by starting here! I would be honored to assist you in your road to developing a healthy and happier YOU!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great therapist
Janita is a great therapist and she knows how to listen to her clients.
I have been seeing Janita for quite a few sessions now, and all I can say is that she makes our sessions an amazing space to be heard, feel seen and understood, and most of all appreciated. She always manages to find opportunities or positive outlooks on situations that most people would consider too hard or detrimental. She truly shows that she cares and she is definitely a person that will cheer you on and support you every step of the way. Janita is great, and I definitely recommend her!
Janita is lovely!
Janita has been AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for a better person to confide in and to help me work through things. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
I have LOVED having Janita as a counselor. She is wonderful to talk to, and gives me a lot to think about after our sessions, as well as a lot of hope and understanding in myself. I am so grateful for her!! :)
Extremely happy and content with Janita! She is wonderful to chat with, and gives me confidence in myself. I appreciate the reassurance I feel after talking to her. Life is a little bit easier knowing I've got someone on my side, helping me out with the big and little things. Thank you!
Janita has helped me realize a lot about myself and helped me go through my strengths and weakness. Helped me make realistic goals with coping skills I didn't even think of! She listened to my concerns and helped me learn how to take care of myself and do better at work and in my personal life!
