More about me

Years in Practice: 13 State: Ohio

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have been in the field for 13 years. I currently work as the clinical director of an agency that focuses on preventing children from being removed from their home and placed in county custody for events related to abuse and neglect. In the past, I have worked as a hospital crisis counselor, I have worked at private practices, and I have worked as the clinical director of a school for emotionally disturbed children. I work with children, adults, couples, and families.

I am a fully licensed therapist with a supervisory credential. This means that I have been supervising therapists for almost a decade. Currently, I help therapist utilize effective strategies and interventions to help them prevent disruptions in the homes they serve and I assist therapists in helping parents and children more effectively communicate to each other.

My clinical style is direct and empathetic. I use a number of different clinical strategies and interventions to help my clients achieve their goals. I also have an extensive background in working with trauma. This includes working with individuals who have experience emotion abuse, physical abuse, and neglect. Throughout my career, I have utilized cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy to help individual clients with their various issues and struggles. I believe you are the expert of your life and your family and that my role is to support you and offer guidance. I believe that being allowed to participate in your life is a privilege.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Justin has risen and met every challenge that life has thrown at me and helped support me through the storm. I’ve been able to face hard truth I didn’t recognize before and come out stronger for it. I feel more confident as a person and hold profound respect for Justin. Anyone who works with him is lucky to have him!

Best therapist I’ve ever had.

Jun 04, 2023

Overall

Justin is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and intuitive. He has helped me face many challenges - most of all, my separation/divorce. He listens intently and provides wise and kind guidance. He knows when to let me talk through an issue and resolve it (mostly) myself or guiding me when I feel lost or don’t know how to move forward. He challenges me when I’m stagnant while also giving me grace when I am self critical. I feel lucky to have found him - and have stayed on BetterHelp because of him after my initial issues were faced/resolved. TLDR; he’s awesome!

Justin has been great to work with. He's always been easy to talk to, listens well, is very direct with me and doesn't try to sugar coat things but Still comes across in a gentle unswesranding way (I asked him to be very direct with me). 5+ stars.

Best ever!

Aug 29, 2023

Overall

I’ve always been skeptical of therapy. There have been some very low points in my life where I went to reach out for help and the therapist just wasn’t there for me. It felt like there wasn’t a connection so it just did more damage by making me feel unheard. Justin however listens. I can’t imagine ever seeing a different therapist because our trust was established and he really does help. He listens and we talk through things as they happen. But he also has opened my eyes to past feelings I never realized I had. I really appreciate him being here for me. Now things are alot better. I’ve been healing and he has helped every step of the way.

Aug 21, 2023

Overall

Justin has been my rock in a landslide of change I’ve gone through in less than a year. I’ve felt heard, supported, and like I’ve had the time and space to learn how to see fuller picture of situations and people while holding compassion for myself. I could not recommend Justin enough, and am grateful for everything he’s helped me accomplish.

So far so good. Its been a few weeks just starting this app and being assigned Justin. He has been a class act, prompt responses and some great insight into understanding listening and helping. Still a long way to go but my experience with Justin so far has been very promising. I recommend!

Justin’s counseling has been invaluable in dealing with my marriage issues. He listens, gives feedback, and offers support. I feel that I have reversed 2 years of trauma in just 2 weeks.

Nov 26, 2022

Justin is truly the best, I’ve lived many many years feeling misunderstood, and unworthy of even basic respect. Him being here to remind me and help me unlearn all of the things I’ve picked up has been so helpful- I’m incredibly thankful for him

B.R.·Apr 01, 2022

Overall

Justin has helped me in many ways, and he genuinely cares about the people he talks to. He always checks up on me before and after each visit and is always available when I need him. He will do anything he can to talk to you, even if that means he has to rearrange his schedule. He is a great guy, and a great therapist.
