His practice includes individual counseling, substance abuse counseling, group work, and couples and family therapy, helping clients address patterns that interfere with daily life and relationships.

Justin draws on evidence-based methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method for couples, and Motivational Interviewing. He uses these approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, combining practical skills training with exploration of values, strengths, and goals. As an LPC, he holds a state license to provide professional counseling services.

Justin frames therapy as a process of rebuilding resilience and reclaiming a sense of agency. He acknowledges that feelings of hopelessness, isolation, anger, fear, and shame are common and focuses on helping people develop coping strategies, practice self-forgiveness, and take constructive steps forward. His work emphasizes collaboration, accountability, and practical tools for managing emotions and improving relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Justin employs Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their values, strengths, and goals. This approach is useful for people seeking a supportive space to process emotions and clarify what matters most to them.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often recommended for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Justin collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress is made. Online sessions provide flexibility - appointments can happen via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective, evidence-based support through these formats while tailoring the experience to individual circumstances.
