About Justin
Justin Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 13 years of experience. He offers a straightforward and empathetic approach that aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. He often works with concerns related to trauma, depression, self-esteem, and issues connected to adoption and foster care.
He has served in crisis, school, and agency settings, including roles focused on keeping children safely in their homes when abuse or neglect is involved. That background shapes how he talks with parents and caregivers about practical steps they can take at home. He focuses on clear strategies rather than jargon, and he treats clients as the experts on their lives.
Justin uses a mix of methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based ideas, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally focused work. In sessions he tends to be direct and empathetic. He helps people build daily skills, improve communication, and manage strong emotions.
He has nearly a decade of supervisory experience working with other therapists. In that role he helps clinicians choose effective interventions and improve how they support families. That experience informs his clinical thinking for individual clients as well.
People who meet with him can expect practical tools, clear feedback, and collaborative planning. He emphasizes helping parents and caregivers communicate more effectively and reduce disruptions at home.
How his approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It focuses on improving connection and communication, which can help with parenting, intimacy, and adoption-related attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and daily coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try first, and they adjust as work progresses so sessions match real life needs.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten a check-in when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports practicing new skills between sessions and keeping momentum when life gets busy.
