About Justin
Dr. Justin Cole is a Colorado-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, CSW) with 25 years of professional experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and parenting pressures. He also addresses related areas such as attachment and communication problems.
He draws on practical, skills-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day interactions. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies rather than jargon. He uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
His background includes military social work as an Army Social Work Officer. That experience shaped a straightforward, problem-solving style and an emphasis on real-life routines. He brings that perspective to struggles such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family tensions, and commitment or trust difficulties.
In a typical meeting he listens to what is most pressing, suggests small experiments to try between sessions, and reviews what helped or didn’t. Practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered conversation are mixed with work on attachment patterns when relevant. The aim is clearer communication and less reactivity at home.
People looking for help with parenting stress or ongoing family conflict can expect focused, structured sessions and guidance on concrete next steps. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that fit those values, which can help with stress, avoidance, and parenting choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks big problems into manageable steps and teaches skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change reactions in everyday interactions.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns show up in adult connections. It is useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and repeated conflict at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, history, and what feels practical in day-to-day life. That may mean mixing techniques from different schools to address communication, emotion regulation, or parenting stresses.
