About Justin

Justin Alexander uses a practical, skills-based approach to help people handle stress and life changes. He focuses on teaching concrete strategies, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and encouraging actions that can make daily life feel more manageable. Justin is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 20 years of experience working from Texas.

He presents a calm, straightforward style that many people find easy to follow. Sessions typically include short lessons, practice tasks, and check-ins about progress.

Background and approach

Justin helps people identify patterns that get in the way and then replaces them with clearer steps. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Justin is experienced supporting concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, addictions, and sleep or eating struggles.

He also addresses relationship difficulties, parenting matters, and issues around grief, trauma, and life transitions. Additional areas he works on include blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and challenges like impulsivity or isolation. Therapy is delivered remotely by video or phone, and Justin checks messages during the day.

The initial step is scheduling a session at a time that fits the client. He aims for practical progress and clear next steps between meetings. People who want straightforward guidance and tools to change patterns may find his style helpful.

Justin welcomes messages and appreciates clear communication about goals and timing.

How CBT-based Online Therapy Works and Helps

Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them in real life, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, or addictive behaviors. It is practical and goal-focused, which many people find useful when managing stress or making changes.

Working out which techniques will help most is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide what to try first and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls and phone sessions for real-time work, plus live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins and support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep momentum on skill practice. The format supports flexible participation from different locations while keeping the focus on concrete skills and steady progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
