About Justin
Justin Mann is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship problems. He works with adults on issues like grief, trauma, intimacy struggles, self-esteem, and workplace stress. His approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
He focuses on the whole person rather than a single symptom. Sessions often look at how thoughts, habits, and daily routines affect mood and behavior.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches to find what fits each person’s needs and goals. Justin combines brief, goal-focused work with deeper exploration when it helps. He may use techniques that change unhelpful thinking patterns alongside conversations about meaning, values, and motivation.
Mindfulness skills and work on communication also appear in sessions when they suit the goal. He has practiced social work for 13 years and holds a Master’s degree in social work from Saint Louis University. He is credentialed as an LCSW in Missouri and brings experience supporting people with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.
Outside of work he enjoys music and family time with his wife and two sons. That mix of life experience and clinical practice shapes a calm, practical style aimed at helping people move forward step by step.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Justin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and some relationship patterns.He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people learn simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Mindfulness can be paired with other work to manage anxiety and cravings. Existential Therapy appears when conversations turn to meaning, values, and life choices; this helps people facing big transitions or questions about purpose.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something doesn’t fit. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize practical skill-building, reflective conversations, or a blend of both.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging support brief check-ins and ongoing motivation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
