About Justin
Justin Gaw is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Justin aims to create straightforward, practical steps so people can start feeling better sooner.
He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to build calm and attention in everyday moments.
Background and approach
Jungian ideas are used sometimes to look at deeper patterns and personal meaning. Justin draws on four years of clinical experience in Texas as an LPC. That background informs his mix of practical skills and exploration of underlying life themes.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, doable changes between meetings. People often come with concerns about relationships, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, or trauma-related reactions. He also addresses communication difficulties, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise and porn use.
The work aims to reduce immediate distress while building longer-term coping skills. Therapy is conversational and task-oriented. Justin will help set goals, practice new strategies, and check progress together.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
Online approaches that fit your life
Justin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking whether they help, and adjusting the plan together as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for full sessions where nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress updates, or when a shorter touchpoint fits your day. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent with busy routines.
