About Justin
Justin Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical strategies that help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and phobias. He speaks English and frames his work in straightforward, goal-oriented ways.
Justin draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
He also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to support people dealing with closeness, trust, and communication problems. Sessions tend to be direct and empathetic, aimed at clear steps clients can try between meetings. His background includes clinical leadership in agencies that work to keep children safely in their homes and crisis work in hospital settings.
That experience shaped his focus on practical tools and family communication. He has also supervised other clinicians for many years, helping them use effective strategies in challenging situations. Parents and individuals often seek him out for help with trauma, mood concerns, parenting strain, and relationship conflict.
He also addresses issues like sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. He works with people navigating identity and LGBT concerns as well. In sessions Justin treats clients as partners.
He listens to what people want to change and then suggests small, manageable steps. The goal is clearer communication, better coping skills, and steady progress toward the client’s goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and trust. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how they relate to others and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In remote work CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and set small homework tasks between sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether attachment work, CBT tools, or other strategies fit best for the problem at hand.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or quick check-ins are needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short updates, homework check-ins, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep steady progress over time.
