About Justin
Justin Ungar, LPC, focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, low self-esteem, or major life changes. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space. He speaks plainly and listens closely to what each person brings to sessions.
He draws on ten years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and bipolar-related struggles.
Background and approach
He also addresses less often mentioned topics such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, body image, and caregiving stress. In session he helps clients name their priorities and build realistic steps toward them. Conversations break issues into manageable pieces so people can try small changes and notice what helps.
He encourages practical coping tools alongside deeper reflection about patterns and values. Justin works with adults facing life transitions, complicated grief, or ongoing stress from health or caregiving responsibilities. He also supports people navigating sexual identity and LGBT-related challenges, as well as those exploring kink and alternative sex culture in nonjudgmental ways.
Therapy sessions are designed to fit what a person needs in the moment, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer-term exploration of emotional patterns. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make attending sessions simpler for busy lives.
Approaches that meet you where you are online
Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One commonly used approach helps people learn coping skills and problem-solving methods so they can reduce anxiety and manage stress in daily life. Another approach explores patterns in relationships and attachment to help with intimacy, communication, and long-standing emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters most to the client, and adjust methods over time so sessions match the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
