About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. He has worked in university counseling, psychiatric hospital settings, substance abuse treatment, teaching, supervision, and private practice. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and related issues listed in his specialties.
His working style emphasizes straightforward, nonjudgmental support and practical steps. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions that match their values. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on small, manageable behavior changes.
Justin draws on experience with severe mental health and substance use challenges as well as typical life stresses. He has helped people coping with loneliness, career strain, ADHD, and the aftermath of loss or trauma. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment problems, body image, gender dysphoria, and impulse-related difficulties.
In sessions he listens without judgment, helps identify patterns that maintain suffering, and works collaboratively to set goals. Techniques may include skills from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered counseling when those fit the person’s needs. The emphasis is on reducing distress and increasing meaningful activity.
Practical steps to begin therapy include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted at this time.
How sessions work
How Justin’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and choosing actions that reflect those values, which can help with depression, anxiety, and problems like avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which is helpful for anxiety, mood issues, and some forms of addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress and needs become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home life, hold shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals can use a variety of methods to teach mindfulness skills, practice behavioral experiments, and role-play communication strategies in remote sessions. Confirm the current session options when you schedule so you know what will work best for your routine and goals.
