About Justin
Justin Hernandez is an LPCC - a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - who brings 13 years of clinical experience to his practice. He emphasizes a direct, empathetic style and focuses on clear, usable strategies that people can try between sessions. Justin often helps with stress, anxiety, relationships, and money and financial issues among other concerns.
He has worked in hospitals, private practice, and in leadership roles that support therapists and families. That background shaped how he helps people communicate more clearly and manage crises without escalating conflict. He draws on experience responding to trauma, including emotional and physical abuse and neglect.
Justin uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. He draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships influence behavior. He also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to create space for honest conversation.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication. Expect goal-oriented conversations, skill practice, and direct feedback. He views clients as experts on their lives and offers guidance rather than prescriptions.
People come for a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, intimacy and LGBT issues, anger, career stress, ADHD, and complicated family histories. Justin also addresses topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and communication or commitment challenges.
He practices in Ohio and conducts work in English. If you want to see whether his way of working fits your needs, use the Start Therapy flow to answer a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions today. Online sessions can use this approach to work on patterns in close relationships and to practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In virtual sessions this often means setting simple homework, tracking thoughts between meetings, and reviewing results together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name emotions and use that awareness to change interaction patterns; it can be useful for improving bonds and addressing intimacy-related concerns in a conversational online setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then recommend a combination of methods that make sense. This is a collaborative process where strategies are adjusted based on what helps most.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Online work can also make it easier to review exercises together and to try skills in real time between sessions.
