How Justin works

Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable and meaningful. Justin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He uses Jungian therapy ideas to examine personal patterns and symbols that feel important.

He also integrates hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices when those approaches fit a person’s needs. In sessions, Justin keeps language direct and practical. He works with concrete steps - thought checks, behavioral experiments, and short mindfulness exercises people can use between meetings.

He also addresses process addictions and compulsive behaviors with focused, action-oriented plans. People meet him by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He has four years of clinical experience and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, clients follow the platform's matching and scheduling flow to arrange an initial appointment.

Online support options

Approaches that translate to online care

Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that trigger stress or anxiety and then test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. CBT is practical work focused on real-life problems like panic attacks, worry, and mood shifts.

He also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with anger, grief, and self-esteem. Mindfulness exercises are short and can be practiced between sessions to support progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative approach makes it easier to adapt work to each person's day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is well suited for deeper conversations, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works for quick check-ins or brief skill coaching. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
