About Justin
Justin Dantzler, LMHC, focuses on helping men and other adults handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. He aims to create a practical, down-to-earth space where people can talk through what matters to them and build clearer next steps. Justin writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s situation before suggesting ways forward.
He trained in psychology and earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, and he also has a background as a Certified Life Coach. His career includes leadership in a state-funded agency supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and work as an Applied Behavior Specialist. Justin has spent many years facilitating mentoring groups and supporting at-risk and underserved populations.
Justin spent time as a first-responding firefighter, so he understands high-stress work and the pressures that come with it. That experience informs how he helps with burnout, emotional resilience, and balancing work and home life. He works with adults, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
In sessions he follows a person-centered, holistic approach. He meets people where they are, helps them notice patterns, and supports practical changes that fit their goals. Common topics include relationships, communication problems, fatherhood issues, infidelity, and workplace challenges.
Justin emphasizes compassion alongside evidence-based techniques to help clients build self-trust and clearer direction. He aims to help people move toward a healthier, more grounded version of themselves through steady, personalized work.
Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online
Justin integrates widely used, evidence-based therapeutic techniques into sessions. One approach focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress and anxiety, then practicing alternative responses. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and workplace strain by giving clear steps to try between sessions.Another common method centers on building stronger communication and relationship skills. Sessions look at interaction habits, teach direct ways to state needs, and practice healthier boundaries - useful for commitment issues, infidelity, or parenting concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Together they adapt techniques and pace so the work fits the client's life and feels manageable.
If you want online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for regular check-ins from home or during a break at work. It can also let someone choose shorter calls or video meetings depending on the moment and need.
