About Justin
Justin Dantzler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping adults and young adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Justin also addresses relationship strain and life changes in straightforward, practical ways.
Justin uses a person-centered style that starts with where someone is right now. He listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and works with them to try new ways of handling old problems.
How Justin works
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, with clear steps to practice between meetings. His background spans nonprofit leadership and clinical work. Justin has led a state-funded agency supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and worked as an Applied Behavior Specialist.
He has also run mentoring groups and provided counseling to underserved communities. Justin spent years as a first-responding firefighter, which shaped his understanding of high-stress work and emotional fatigue. That experience informs how he talks about burnout, work-life balance, and resilience in sessions.
He brings a practical awareness of how demanding jobs affect relationships and mental health. Justin combines life coaching ideas with counseling to help clients pursue meaningful change. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and emphasizes compassion over self-criticism.
Outside work, he is married and a parent, and he often integrates real-life roles like fatherhood into conversations about purpose and priorities.

Practical approaches and online care
Justin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life results. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective responses; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive relationship problems. Another approach he uses centers on building coping strategies and emotional regulation so people have tools to manage stress, burnout, and intense emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust as progress is made. This helps ensure the work aligns with what matters most to the client and their day-to-day life.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
