About Justin
Justin Jacobson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. He focuses on anxiety and stress, and also helps people managing addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. He aims to offer steady support when life feels overwhelming.
His work centers on building a trusting relationship. He creates space for people to talk through painful events and strong emotions. Justin says the first step is feeling understood so that practical next steps can make sense.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. He listens closely, helps identify patterns that cause distress, and supports small changes that add up. Conversations include coping skills, ways to reduce anxious thoughts, and strategies for handling triggers tied to past trauma.
Justin has three years of experience as an LCSW. That background informs how he approaches complex issues like attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. He also supports people navigating divorce and separation and men’s issues.
People work with him when they want calm, manageable steps rather than quick fixes. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Online approaches for anxiety and trauma
Evidence-based techniques focus on practical skills and processing of difficult experiences. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought management techniques to reduce intense anxiety and improve daily functioning. These tools help when stress feels overwhelming and when anxious thoughts interfere with routines.Another typical approach involves processing traumatic memories in a paced way so they feel less triggering over time. That work addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, and the strong emotions around abandonment or attachment wounds. Sessions move at the client's pace and aim to lessen the power of painful memories rather than erase them.
Finding which approach fits is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on goals, symptoms, and life demands. Adjustments happen as progress is seen and new needs arise.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coping reminders, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping therapy focused on clear, practical steps.
