About Justin

Justin Hammons is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. He brings nine years of clinical experience and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside mood, behavior, and relationship challenges. People come to him when anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addiction, or trauma feel overwhelming and they need clear, practical help.

Justin uses straightforward, respectful language in sessions. He aims to create a calm, open space where people can talk honestly about what’s going on.

Background and approach

He centers conversations on strengths and practical steps rather than jargon or long lectures. In practice he blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and stress. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals and values at the center of treatment. Justin has worked with a broad range of concerns that include parenting stress, family conflict, relationship strain, ADHD, autism spectrum issues, anger, and substance-related problems.

He also supports people facing trauma, grief, burnout, and identity-related issues within LGBT contexts. His additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family issues, and fatherhood-related topics. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.

Justin looks at patterns in day-to-day life and helps people try small, manageable changes. The emphasis is on usable skills and clearer communication so daily life becomes easier to handle.

Online approaches that fit family and parenting needs

Client-Centered Therapy is focused on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and discover their own solutions for parenting and family stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday parenting frustrations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, situation, and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools for stress management, DBT skills for strong emotions, or a client-centered stance to guide conversations about family roles.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls let people talk face-to-face from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video isn't convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and tools between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and try out skills in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
