About Justin
Justin Hernandez is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT issues, intimacy problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, life changes, and ADHD.
He describes a direct clinical style that aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as one of the approaches he uses to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Justin has worked in hospital crisis settings, private practice, and as a clinical director in agencies and schools. That background includes supervising other therapists for many years and supporting teams that work to prevent children from being placed in county custody due to abuse or neglect.
In clinical work he uses a mix of approaches including attachment-informed methods, client-centered skills, dialectical strategies, and emotionally focused techniques. He emphasizes clear communication and helping parents and children talk more effectively with each other when that is part of the concern.
He sees himself as a guide rather than an authority. In sessions he offers concrete interventions and practical guidance while recognizing the client as the expert on their own life. People who prefer straightforward feedback and hands-on skill practice may find this style useful.
How his approaches translate to online work
Justin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills, thought records, and small behavioral experiments that translate well to remote meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people practice new ways of relating and communicating with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try. That process can include mixing CBT skills with attachment-informed tools or client-centered strategies based on what helps you make progress.
The practical advantage of online sessions is making therapy fit into day-to-day life. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Once confirmed, online meetings can reduce travel time, make shorter check-ins easier to fit into a lunch break, and allow people to continue work while keeping appointments in place. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, between-session tasks, and communication exercises for remote meetings so the same concrete skill practice happens whether sessions are in person or online.
