Focus areas and approaches

Everything Justin lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical steps. One common approach involves building coping skills and routines to manage anxiety and depression. This emphasizes small behavioral changes, pacing, and simple exercises you can practice between sessions. Another focus is grief and life-change work, which centers on naming emotions, creating space to process loss, and finding ways to adjust daily habits that support recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when seeing facial cues matters, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messages are handy for quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily responsibilities and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
