Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options
Justin often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and build willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful action. ACT is useful for people coping with anxiety, lingering stress, or patterns that get in the way of valued living.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a warm, nonjudgmental approach that emphasizes empathy and unconditional acceptance so clients feel heard and understood before moving toward change. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to process grief, trauma, or relationship strain.
In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is frequently integrated to teach practical skills for identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain distress. CBT supports work on symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD-related struggles, and other specific challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Justin collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people who prefer remote care or who live at a distance, while preserving the same collaborative relationship with licensed professionals and therapists that guides in-person work.
