He speaks plainly and works with adults and young adults, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. His approach centers on listening first and helping clients take concrete steps forward.
With two decades of experience, Justin draws on work across counseling and the nonprofit sector. He has held leadership roles in agencies serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and has provided direct behavior support and mentoring.
Background and approach
He also spent years as a first-responding firefighter, which shaped his understanding of stress and burnout. Justin aims to meet clients where they are and help them move toward goals that matter. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping with anxiety, building self-esteem, and managing relationship or workplace strain.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide people through change and healing. He also supports people navigating fatherhood issues, separation and divorce, communication struggles, and questions about life purpose and sexuality. Justin frames work around real-world challenges like guilt, isolation, commitment concerns, and forgiveness rather than abstract labels.
Outside therapy he is married and a parent, and he draws on life experience when helping clients build resilience. He offers individual counseling in New York through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varying schedules and needs.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Justin often uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and short-term strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress, helping people handle daily triggers and regain a sense of control. Another approach centers on exploring relationship patterns and communication, which can help with commitment issues, infidelity, or workplace conflicts.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend approaches that fit those needs. Adjustments happen over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have a full conversation with visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can serve as a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress without long commutes.
