Background and approach

He draws on cognitive and mindfulness tools to help people gain distance from distressing thoughts and urges. His background includes work in university counseling, psychiatric hospital settings, and treatment for severe substance use with co-occurring mental health concerns. He has also taught at the university level and supervised other therapists, which informs his clear, educational style in sessions.

Common concerns he addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. Phobias are listed among his focus areas and can be part of treatment planning when relevant. Sessions tend to focus on skills practice, values-based goal setting, and learning to respond differently to painful thoughts and feelings.

Justin aims to tailor approaches to each person’s situation and pace so progress feels manageable. He encourages collaboration and honest feedback to make therapy fit individual needs.

Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and take action toward what they value. It focuses on small, meaningful steps rather than trying to eliminate unwanted thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and breathing or attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend techniques that match those goals. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful and workable in daily life.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates, get brief coaching, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to practice new skills consistently and keep therapy integrated with everyday routines.
