About Justin
Justin Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 13 years of experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. He takes a direct but empathetic approach and aims to be a steady guide through difficult moments.
Before moving into his current roles, he worked in hospital crisis settings, private practice, and schools for emotionally disturbed children. He has served as a clinical director at agencies focused on keeping children safely in their homes and has nearly a decade of supervisory experience mentoring other therapists. That background informs how he approaches communication and practical problem solving in sessions.
His sessions draw on several methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed ideas. He also uses emotionally focused and dialectical strategies when needed. Justin emphasizes simple, actionable steps people can try between meetings to build steadier routines and relationships.
People come to him for help with parenting stress, blended family challenges, body image, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. He also supports issues linked to adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, and attachment difficulties.
Justin describes his role as supportive rather than directive. He respects that clients know their life best and works collaboratively to find what will actually fit into daily life. To start, he asks practical questions and helps identify small changes that add up over time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in how they relate to partners and family and build safer ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or lift mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what actually helps meet goals. That collaborative process helps match methods to the problem, whether it is stress, relationship strain, trauma, or day-to-day coping.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or making it simpler to join from a different location when needed. Therapists can assign brief practice tasks between visits and use shared tools to track progress, which helps turn session insights into everyday changes.
