About Justin
Dr. Justin Panneck helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious find clearer footing. He writes straightforward plans, listens for what matters, and uses practical steps to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
He trained as a Licensed Professional Counselor, holds two master’s degrees and a PhD in health psychology. That mix feeds his interest in both clinical tools and broader ideas about wellbeing. He spent six years doing nature-based therapy on a 70-acre farm in Canby, Oregon, and has four years in independent practice.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on making small, doable changes. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what they value and act on it. He also draws on client-centered listening and emotionally focused ideas when relationships or personal meaning come up.
Justin weaves in hands-on practices when they fit, like breathwork, movement, or nature-based exercises. He also supports people preparing for or integrating work they pursue elsewhere, including entheogenic experiences, in a preparatory and integration role rather than providing those substances. He combines clinical work with coaching, career support, and performance-focused strategies.
That background includes corporate training, behavioral health consultation, and public talks on consciousness and healing. The result is a flexible, practical approach aimed at better sleep, clearer purpose, and lessened anxiety.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then take actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when worry blocks movement. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, commonly used for relational and attachment concerns, helps people name and shift emotional patterns that keep them stuck in old cycles.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what you want to change, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Many people mix approaches across sessions, pairing skills practice with reflection and experiential work to match shifting needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone is a lower-bandwidth option, live chat or text are useful for quick check-ins and day-to-day support. These options let people fit work on coping strategies, sleep, career plans, or integration work into real-life schedules without commuting.
