About Justin
Justin Hernandez is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of clinical experience. He approaches therapy in a straightforward and compassionate way. He listens closely and offers practical steps people can try between sessions.
Justin focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

His work includes support for LGBTQ clients and people coping with major life changes or mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
His background includes roles in hospital crisis care, independent practice, and program leadership focused on preventing unnecessary child removals from the home. That mix gives him experience with trauma, neglect, and family communication challenges. He has also supervised other clinicians and supported them in using evidence-informed strategies.
In sessions he combines client-centered listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotion-focused work. He aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. Therapy is collaborative, with the client guiding goals and pace.
Justin keeps language simple and goals concrete. Families and individuals looking for clear steps and steady support may find his direct yet empathetic approach useful. He works by phone, video, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and feelings. In sessions this means looking at patterns in close relationships and practicing different ways of responding to improve trust and emotional safety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions for relationship and life concerns.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Justin will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they experiment with techniques and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and aligned with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to work around school, work, or family schedules and can help sustain momentum between appointments.
