About Justin
Justin brings seven years of clinical experience to his work. He has helped people facing traumatic stress, relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, anger, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with substance use concerns and challenges tied to family of origin or fatherhood roles.
In sessions he uses approaches that fit the person and the problem. That can include Client-Centered methods that prioritize the client’s goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, Gottman Method ideas for relationship work, and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change.
Justin describes therapy as a way to tap resilience and take back control when life feels confusing or stuck. He encourages people to practice coping skills, forgive themselves, and set manageable steps toward change. The tone is collaborative and solution-focused rather than overly technical.
People who want direct, goal-oriented counseling for coping with life changes or related concerns will find a practical approach. He invites clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might fit.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals first and focuses on active listening and empathy to help people clarify what they want to change. It is useful for anyone who needs a supportive space to sort through life decisions and emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want practical tools to feel better day to day.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who get overwhelmed by intense feelings or conflict.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what is most helpful. This collaborative process helps identify which combination of skills and techniques fits each person's needs.
Session options are not detailed here, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make regular meetings easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is not possible. Ask about how scheduling and session length can be arranged to suit work, family, or other commitments.
