Justin Ungar, LPC

Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with ten years of experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or struggling after loss. He also supports those dealing with addictions, mood challenges, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

In sessions, Justin aims to make talking feel straightforward and nonjudgmental. He focuses on building an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings. He encourages small steps toward clearer thinking and increased motivation.

His work often addresses practical problems like communication breakdowns, commitment and control issues, parenting strain, and managing anger. Justin also supports people facing identity questions, body image concerns, and the challenges that can follow adoption or caregiving roles.

People bring many kinds of life changes into the room, such as grief, chronic illness, or the aftermath of trauma. Justin helps people sort through these changes and find manageable ways to cope. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward useful strategies.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel hard, and Justin acknowledges that. He works with each person to set realistic goals and practical next steps. His approach is steady, approachable, and focused on what will help in day-to-day life.

Approaches that guide online work

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical help. One approach emphasizes skill-building to manage anxiety and stress, teaching simple tools people can use during hard moments. Another approach focuses on processing grief and loss, helping people make sense of feelings and find steps toward adapting to change.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress and needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins when a quick conversation will do. It can also let someone choose a quieter time slot or a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. A licensed professional will discuss which session style makes the most sense for your situation during the initial match.
