He aims to meet each person where they are and tailor sessions to their situation. Justin presents straightforward support and small-step strategies so progress feels doable.
He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting.
Background and approach
He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and name strong feelings and improve how they connect with others. These approaches guide the work, but the plan is always shaped around what a person needs right now. Justin has three years of counseling experience and frames sessions around respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
He talks through specific problems like parenting stress, relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, and attention-related difficulties. He also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, and communication struggles. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Costs vary by location and availability, and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are provided in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time that fits their availability.
Justin aims to create a calm, focused space for people to work toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion.
How CBT and EFT Shape Online Sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood. Sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings so people can see small changes in thinking and behavior.Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on naming and working through strong feelings and improving how people relate to others. It can be useful when relationship stress, attachment issues, or intense emotions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That plan can shift over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for emotional work and role plays. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, short updates, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options create flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
