About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people reduce suffering and live in line with their values. He uses a warm, nonjudgmental stance to make conversations feel approachable and straightforward. He aims to support people through stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and other life challenges.
He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked in university counseling, psychiatric hospital settings, substance abuse treatment, and independent practice.
Background and approach
He has also taught at the university level and supervised other therapists. That mix of roles gave him experience with a range of issues from mood disorders to co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. In sessions he starts by listening carefully and helping people clarify what matters to them.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness tools to help people notice thoughts, make room for hard feelings, and take action toward chosen values. He also uses client-centered and dialectical skills when helpful. His style centers on collaboration.
He works with each person to find the processes that contribute to distress and then builds practical steps to change patterns over time. Therapy includes learning skills, experimenting with behaviors, and checking what works in daily life. Justin offers multiple ways to connect, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
He aims to match treatment to each person’s needs and preferences so therapy fits into real life.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify patterns to change. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and learning practical coping skills. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in everyday moments, which can support stress and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques so the plan fits your situation rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats provide flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into tighter schedules, live chat supports brief check-ins or processing when typing feels easier, and text messaging works for ongoing support and reminders between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to work, school, and family obligations.
