About Justin
Justin Hernandez is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. He offers straightforward, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and mood concerns. Justin speaks in plain terms and focuses on clear steps people can use right away.
He draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people understand relationship patterns. He pairs those with cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
How Justin works
Emotionally-focused and dialectical strategies are used when intense emotions or communication blocks get in the way. Justin has worked in hospital crisis settings, independent practice, and in programs aimed at keeping children safely in their homes. That background informs his work with folks managing trauma, abuse histories, and parenting strain.
He uses hands-on coaching to improve communication and reduce conflict around caregiving and blended family dynamics. Sessions are practical. Justin listens carefully, reflects what he hears, and then suggests doable steps to try between meetings.
He encourages clients to set small goals and track what changes and what does not. People who work with him can expect a direct but warm approach. He treats clients as the experts on their lives and offers guidance to help them get unstuck.
His focus is on real-life improvements in relationships, mood, sleep, and daily routine.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Justin uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when people struggle with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship conflict. He also uses client-centered methods that place the person's experience at the center of sessions and guide conversations at the client’s pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques are added to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors when anxiety, mood, or sleep problems get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin will talk through goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. This is collaborative - the therapist adapts approaches based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
