About Justin

Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. He also supports those facing addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and attention challenges such as ADHD.

He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

He encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. His background includes a decade of working directly with people on motivation, confidence, and coping skills. That experience informs how he structures sessions and sets goals with each person.

He draws on approaches that are evidence based and aimed at real-world results. In sessions he listens first, then helps people try out strategies that match their needs. He pays attention to patterns that keep problems stuck and offers tools to change them.

Conversations can cover relationships, intimacy, parenting stress, and more practical challenges. Justin keeps things straightforward and respectful. He knows starting therapy takes courage and treats that step as important.

He works with each person to build on strengths and make progress at a manageable pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes structured problem solving and skill building to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning; it helps people break large problems into manageable steps. Another commonly used approach targets coping and emotion regulation skills, teaching ways to manage intense feelings and respond differently to stress and cravings.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to goals and preferences, then suggests approaches to try. Together they review what works and adjust the plan, so the method fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Justin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or useful when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit care into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
