About Justine
Justine draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help with present-moment awareness and values-based choices.
She has ten years of clinical experience and has worked in both group and individual settings, including care for co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. Justine focuses on setting clear, realistic goals and practicing skills regularly so changes stick in daily life. She describes counseling as a paced process that moves at the client’s comfort level.
Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and problem-solving for everyday challenges like communication problems, commitment or abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career strain. Justine encourages small, consistent steps summed up by her guiding phrase, “Practice makes permanent.”
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Justine is available in English and accepts international clients, and she works with each client to identify priorities and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Justine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with feelings of stuckness and issues like abandonment or low self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical steps for changing unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skills practice, values work, or thought reframing as therapy progresses.
The exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and allow consistent work on goals from wherever a person is located. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Justine, help tailor session length and focus to what works practically for the client.
