Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current interactions. It helps people explore patterns of connection and repair ruptures in relationships, which can be especially useful for attachment-related struggles and family concerns.Client-Centered Therapy centers the clients experience, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist reflects and validates what emerges. This approach can help build self-awareness, self-esteem, and stronger decision-making skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by developing coping strategies and problem-solving tools.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Justin works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods over time so therapy remains aligned with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of treatment when in-person visits are difficult.
