About Justine

Justine St. Cyr is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on clear, practical support. She uses straightforward talk and steady listening to help people sort through stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and trauma.

Her style is calm and nonjudgmental, designed to make the first steps feel manageable. If you are thinking about therapy, she frames the process in small, concrete steps that feel doable. With six years of professional experience and a Texas LPC license, she draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions.

Background and approach

She commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Mindfulness tools and solution-focused strategies often show up in session to build coping skills and short-term wins. Her practice includes supporting concerns such as depression, ADHD-related focus challenges, parenting and family tension, relationship difficulties, grief, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.

She has additional experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, postpartum mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to create a space where feelings and thoughts can be voiced without judgment. Practical exercises, short home practice, and goal-setting are common features.

She helps clients break larger problems into manageable steps and track progress over time. Justine works in Texas and conducts therapy in English. She offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and preferences. In practice this means sessions start with open listening and follow the client’s priorities, helping people feel heard and setting goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. Online CBT often uses brief exercises, thought records, and homework that fit into daily life to reduce anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they adjust methods over time, combining approaches like client-centered work and CBT as needed to make steady progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for parents and busy people who need to fit therapy into tight schedules. Remote sessions also make it easier to keep regular contact, try short exercises between meetings, and build routines that support change.

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.

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.
