Appreciate her professionalism, and ability to listen, and provide new ways to look at things. She is a fantastic therapist and I love her weekly messages (separate from just regular sessions), it’s always nice to know she cares even outside of sessions.

Hello my name is San Juanita (Janie) Diaz. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have been a counselor for 23 years. I have a Bachelor Degree in Sociology and a Master's Degree in Counseling and Guidance. I have worked with individuals from the ages of 5 to 100plus.

Women's shelter, and substance abuse facilities. In addition, I have worked years providing counseling services to families involved with Child Protective Services. My therapy modality is integrative. I primarily utilize a person-centered approach and include as needed Cognitive Behavior therapy, solution-focused, and strength-based. I believe that establishing/ strengthening rapport and the therapeutic alliance are vital to counseling. I try to create a supportive and safe environment for individuals to address their issues, challenges, and goals. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. Thank You for your time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Janie, as she likes to be called, has been an absolute Angel. I am sad to be ending therapy for now but hope to come back soon. In less than half a year, she helped me find my voice and vocalize my feelings. Anyone considering her, she will do her best to do the same for you. I’m very grateful for her.

Jan 2023

Very kind and attentive.

Jan 2023

Juanita Diaz is a God send, she checks up in me, listens very well & does a great job of pointing out the positives in every situation no matter how bad or overwhelming it may seem. Her spirit is amazing as well.

Jan 2023

Janie is a wonderful therapist who helped me during a turbulent period in my life. She is caring and informative. I've learned a lot about myself and how I communicate with people thanks to her.

Jan 2023

Jamie is a wonderful therapist. She is both empathetic and sympathetic. She listens well and offers constructive advice.

Oct 2022

I've tried out many different therapists over the past several years and Janie is by far the best listener. She's incredibly good at actively listening, not interrupting, and not making her patients feel judged. She's generally a very nice, wholesome, welcoming, and thoughtful person. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who needs someone to listen to them rather than immediately attempt to fix their problems before they know what's going on, as some therapists do.

Oct 2022

Juanita is very amazing. I love talking with her because she is very patient with me. I'm very thankful for having someone who listens actively and provides effective feedback, although sometimes things are hard to hear, Juanita says it and the most understanding and respectful way. Thanks Juanita....you saved my many relationships and most of all my marriage!!!!!

Oct 2022

Janie is very patient and is a great listener. I love talking to her!

Sep 2022

Out of all the Talkspace and Betterhelp therapists I've tried over the past 3 years, Janie is absolutely the best listener. She never seems judgmental, is always empathetic, and never interrupts. It sounds basic--but a lot of therapists aren't great at these skills and few have all three of them in spades. I always feel better after talking to Janie, and she always gives me thoughtful insights and suggestions.

H.A.·Aug 2022

She is very kind and attentive. I appreciate the quotes and positive messages that she sends me.

N.A.·Aug 2022
