He works with individuals who are coping with life changes, addiction concerns, relationship strain, trauma, or mood difficulties.

With three years of professional experience, he has worked with a wide range of concerns including anger, depression, ADHD, and family-related stress such as blended family issues and attachment questions. He also addresses areas like abandonment, body image, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence.
Justin emphasizes clear communication and teamwork in therapy. He helps people sort priorities, practice new skills, and track progress over time. His style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people feel more capable in daily life.
He sees clients in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match people with an appropriate therapist and schedule a session based on availability.
How CBT and EFT Shape Online Sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, stress, depression, and attention-related struggles by teaching concrete strategies and small behavior changes.Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on emotions and interpersonal bonds. It helps people understand their emotional responses and improve how they connect and communicate with others, which can be useful for relationship stress and attachment concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then collaborate on a plan that may draw from these methods. This is a team effort to find what fits best.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods for virtual work so practical skills and emotional processing continue in everyday life.
