About Justine
Justine Harris-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with nine years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps people facing divorce and separation, dealing with guilt and shame, and managing panic attacks and social anxiety.
She prefers clear, practical work. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and actions that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based ideas to identify patterns and try different responses. Sessions are practical and focused on small changes that add up.
Justine draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to affect daily life. She uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when intense emotions or relationship patterns create repeated problems. These methods are used to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Her counseling style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, then suggests manageable steps clients can test between sessions. Homework might include short behavior experiments, thought records, or mindfulness exercises aimed at specific situations like panic episodes or conflict with a partner.
Sessions are conducted in English and governed by Maryland licensure standards listed as LCPC. People who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Justine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more helpful behaviors. CBT work often includes brief experiments to test new responses to anxiety, panic, or negative self-talk. Client-Centered Therapy is used to listen to each person's perspective and support them in setting practical goals. This approach focuses on understanding what the person wants to change and working from there. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and choose methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as progress is tracked.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use skills learned in session in real-life situations between meetings.
