About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He focuses on helping people reduce suffering and build lives that feel meaningful. He uses a warm, nonjudgmental style and aims to help clients make choices that align with their values.

He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked in a range of settings, including university counseling, a psychiatric hospital, substance abuse treatment, teaching, supervision, and independent practice.
How Justin works
He often looks for the patterns that contribute to distress and then tailors work to fit each person. Treatment draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. Sessions combine listening, practical skills, and goal-focused steps.
Justin has helped people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, relationship and family issues, and questions of gender and sexual identity. He also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment problems, impulsivity, isolation, and body image.
His aim is to create a respectful space where people can talk through worries, gain distance from painful thoughts, and build actions that reflect what matters to them. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with his practice and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It uses exercises to create psychological distance from painful thinking and to identify meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, often combined with other techniques to manage stress and cravings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together based on what works best for the person. Sessions blend listening, skill practice, and small behavior changes so progress is practical and measurable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently over time.
