About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people reduce suffering and live with more meaning. He emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach and prioritizes matching clients with the right counselor for lasting progress. Justin draws on seven years of clinical experience that began in 2015 and spans university, hospital, and private practice settings.
He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked with students, psychiatric inpatients, and people facing severe substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. He has also taught at the university level and supervised other therapists. This variety of settings informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to care.
Justin uses approaches that help people create distance from unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters. He leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas while keeping conversations client-centered and practical. Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also woven into sessions when helpful.
In sessions he focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, trauma and grief. He also helps people work through relationship conflict, communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, gender dysphoria, and men’s issues.
Justin aims to tailor treatment to each person’s goals and values. He helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and build a life that feels more meaningful. To begin, he recommends finding a counselor who feels like a good fit and then moving forward at a pace that suits the client.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical behavior experiments to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.
Mindfulness and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach skills for emotion regulation and staying present during distressing moments. These skills can help with impulse control, cravings, and overwhelming emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person’s needs. Treatment is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since session delivery is not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Speak with the therapist after matching to learn which formats are offered and to plan sessions that fit daily life.
