About Justin

He focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. He speaks English and Spanish and brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions.
Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth approach. He listens first, then adapts conversations and tools to fit each person's situation. Sessions aim to build skills for handling anger, grief, addictions, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Justin uses several evidence-based methods to shape treatment. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking. He also uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies to reduce struggle with painful thoughts and feelings.
For relationship or interaction issues he often brings in principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Dialectical behavior strategies are added when people need stronger emotion regulation and coping skills. He has worked across many concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and substance problems.
Each plan is tailored to the person's goals, values, and day-to-day realities. Justin encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Justin often uses the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict patterns in relationships, focusing on practical habits that lead to better conversations and reduced tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can ease long-term struggle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework to create change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to test methods, adjust techniques, and decide what fits best based on goals and preferences. The process is team-based and paced to what feels manageable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching communication skills, phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth needs, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into everyday routines.
