About Justin
Justin Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, and other life challenges. He keeps conversations direct and empathetic to help people move forward.
He draws on approaches like attachment work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients understand patterns and change them. Sessions often include clear, doable steps for managing symptoms such as worry, low mood, sleep disruption, or eating concerns.
Background and approach
He also addresses intimacy, parenting stress, career strain, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. Justin has a background leading clinical programs and helping other therapists refine their skills. That experience informs how he explains strategies and sets measurable goals with people.
He emphasizes communication skills and practical tools that can be used between sessions. When trauma is part of a person's history, he combines empathy with structured techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. He uses both emotion-focused conversations and behavioral exercises to help people regain stability after abuse, neglect, or other painful events.
Sessions are collaborative. Justin frames the person as the expert in their life while offering guidance and clear steps. The aim is to reduce distress, strengthen relationships, and build routines that support better sleep, eating, and overall coping.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions focus on understanding connection needs and improving how someone asks for and receives support, which can ease relationship and intimacy concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and thought-challenging to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep and eating routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies fit personality, lifestyle, and immediate needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support short updates, between-session coaching, or quicker check-ins that fit a busy schedule. These options make it easier to work therapy into daily life and keep progress moving forward.
