About Justin
Dr. Justin Panneck helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, sleep troubles, ADHD, and chronic pain or illness. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. His approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, emotionally-focused methods, existential ideas, and EMDR.
Sessions often include conversation, experiential exercises, and tools clients can use between meetings.
How Justin works
Justin spent six years as a nature-based therapist on a 70-acre farm in Canby, Oregon. There he used outdoor activities like shelter building, guided foraging, and nature art to help people reconnect with themselves. For the past four years he has seen clients in independent practice.
He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling, a Master of Education, and a PhD in health psychology, and he is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. His doctoral work examined coping strategies and alternative healing practices, including research into plant medicines and their effects on mood and trauma recovery.
In addition to clinical work, he has experience as a corporate consultant and trainer, and he runs motivational staff retreats that use creativity and performance art. He also helps clients prepare for and integrate personal work they do with plant medicines, when that is part of a client's path.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online work and integration
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people can explore goals at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve how they relate to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't desired, live chat suits short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing connection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like ACT or EFT in ways that feel manageable and consistent.
