About Justin

Justin Hernandez is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and related concerns. He also supports people dealing with parenting, intimacy, career challenges, ADHD, and identity issues such as LGBT concerns.

He previously worked as a hospital crisis counselor and in private practice. He has led programs aimed at keeping children safely at home and served as a clinical director at a school for students with emotional disturbances. That mix of crisis work, administration, and direct counseling informs his practical approach.

Justin's style is straightforward and focused on clear strategies. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and other goal-oriented methods to address problematic thoughts and behaviors. He also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns and connection are the central issues.

He has nearly a decade supervising other therapists and helping them use effective interventions with families. That supervisory work includes training clinicians who support parents and children to communicate more clearly and reduce conflict that risks out-of-home placement.

Sessions emphasize specific skills and real-world steps people can try between meetings. Clients can expect direct feedback, collaborative planning, and attention to how past experiences shape current responses. Justin frames clients as the expert on their life while offering practical guidance and tools.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Justin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete pieces and helps people try different responses to reduce anger and anxiety. He also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions in partnerships and families.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will help clients pick which approach or combination fits their goals and life context. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical exercises, and checking what does or does not help between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid travel. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment-informed work to remote sessions so clients practice skills and manage anger in everyday situations.
