About Justin

Justin Gaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem problems. He also addresses relationship and family concerns as well as parenting challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and draw on several therapeutic methods to match a client's needs. Justin uses clear, action-oriented techniques to help people manage symptoms and move forward.

Background and approach

He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going. He also uses Jungian Therapy to explore personal meaning and inner themes that influence behavior. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices are available as tools for relaxation and focused change.

With four years of clinical experience, Justin blends structured work with reflective exploration. He commonly helps with trauma and post-traumatic stress, panic and social anxiety, ADHD, and process addictions like gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. He also addresses family problems, communication struggles, guilt, shame, impulsivity, and coping with life changes.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For those interested, the process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Justin practices under Texas license TX LPC 80243 and works only with clients in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Justin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-focused and can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and impulsive behaviors.

He also incorporates Jungian Therapy to explore deeper personal themes, symbolism, and meaning. That work can help when someone wants to understand long-standing patterns, identity questions, or inner conflicts. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques are also used as tools to support relaxation, focus, and behavior change when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Justin works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts tools from different approaches rather than using one rigid method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, school, and family life and to keep momentum between sessions. Many clients appreciate being able to choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
