Background and approach

There she supported young people with trauma, severe mental illness, and their families through counseling and psychoeducation. After returning to Florida, she worked in outpatient and residential substance use settings with adult women. That experience involved treating trauma, mood disorders, and addiction-related challenges.

In 2019 she moved into work at a Children's Advocacy Center, continuing to support children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse and domestic violence. Her practice centers on trauma and life transitions. She uses a mix of techniques rather than a single method.

That means sessions can include skill-building for emotion regulation, strategies to manage panic or phobias, and focused work on painful memories when it helps the person. Justine emphasizes tools people can use between sessions. She aims to match methods to each person's needs and goals.

The result is practical, step-by-step support for managing stress, processing loss, and reducing fear in everyday situations.

Approaches for online trauma and fear work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead to build trust and clarify goals; it helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through fear and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can help during moments of high stress or strong impulses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods based on current needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with skill-building, then moving to trauma-focused techniques when the person feels ready. The plan is adjusted over time in response to progress and feedback.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes sessions easier to fit into daily life. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping treatment focused on real-world coping and recovery.
