Juanita Sawyer , LPC

Juanita Sawyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with three years of clinical experience. She grounds her work in social justice, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity, creating a practice that pays close attention to the whole person and their cultural and gender-based identities.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including daily anxiety, stress, grief, overwhelm, major life transitions, trauma and abuse, depression, and parenting challenges. Juanita emphasizes an approachable and authentic therapeutic presence, aiming to listen carefully and to believe the stories clients bring. Her approach involves tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs, values, and lived experience.

Clients can expect a compassionate clinician who attends to attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Juanita recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and affirms and supports people as they take that first step toward change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Juanita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to stress and anxiety, offering skills-based interventions that help people manage overwhelming thoughts, reduce physiological reactivity, and build day-to-day coping strategies. These practical skills can be useful for work, relationships, and routine functioning.

She also provides trauma-informed support that focuses on processing difficult experiences and reducing the ways past harm affects current life. For grief and major life transitions, Juanita offers focused guidance to help people navigate loss, role changes, and parenting challenges while honoring their individual background and needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Juanita collaborates with each person to identify the best fit based on goals, preferences, and life context. She works alongside clients to adapt techniques as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online therapy with Juanita is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access care from home, while allowing therapists and clients to maintain continuity of sessions even when routines change.
