Justin Mann, LCSW - Therapist in Missouri

About Justin

Justin Mann is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship problems. He draws on 13 years of practice to help people handle everyday pressures and crisis moments. His style is straightforward and practical, aimed at parents who need clear steps and steady support.

Justin treats the whole person rather than only symptoms. He uses techniques that change thinking patterns and habits, and he blends that work with empathy and attention to personal strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve finding small, doable changes that fit into a busy family schedule. His methods include cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and existential perspectives. Those tools are used to address grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and problems with control or communication.

He also supports people dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety, and issues tied to addiction. Justin holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and practices in Missouri. He offers a calm, steady presence and focuses on practical problem solving.

Parents can expect clear guidance paired with space to talk through difficult feelings. Outside of work he values music and family time. That personal perspective informs an approach that aims to fit therapy into real life and parenting routines.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Justin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to manage symptoms and reactions.

He also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness exercises taught in sessions can be practiced between meetings to reduce rumination and improve focus. Motivational interviewing is another tool he draws on to help people find personal reasons to change, especially around substance use and lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Justin works with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and day-to-day life. Together they try approaches for a few sessions and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into family schedules, to check in between meetings, and to maintain continuity when travel or work gets in the way. Many clients find the flexibility helps them stay consistent while working toward practical changes.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

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.
