About Justin
Before entering the counseling field, he spent nearly seven years working as a hospice medical social worker, a role that shaped his sensitivity to grief, loss, and complex emotional needs. He is experienced in working with victims of trauma, people who have depression, and individuals coping with anxiety. His broader practice also includes support for stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, guilt and shame, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
Justin’s approach to counseling centers on unconditional acceptance and collaboration. He practices client-centered therapy, meeting people where they are before helping them clarify and pursue change. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills, and integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques as appropriate to each person’s needs. He works in English and provides care within Virginia. He is not accepting new clients at this time.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility by helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance while the client explores goals and growth. This approach helps with self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Justin collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend these approaches to match individual circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reach care from home or work, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of formats allows clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
