Background and approach

Her work draws on client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, more useful thoughts. Mindfulness skills are taught to help with stress and panic symptoms.

When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she incorporates trauma-focused approaches to help people process hard memories at a pace that feels safe. Dialectical behavior strategies are offered for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Justine has nine years of clinical experience and holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC.

She practices in Maryland and offers sessions in English. Her work is collaborative: she helps people set practical goals and checks progress as they go.

Approaches to anxiety and online sessions

Justine often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety and panic, and it teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness therapy focuses on noticing physical sensations and thoughts without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and lower everyday stress.

She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will ask about goals, what has helped before, and what feels realistic for daily life. Together the therapist and client pick methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messages are helpful for short check-ins, breathing exercises, or reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
