About Justine
Justine Harris-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations look at what is happening now and what changes would help day to day. She draws on practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address panic, social anxiety, and overwhelming emotions.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect current functioning. Mindfulness practices are taught in short, usable ways so people can calm racing thoughts and reduce reactivity. Client-centered principles guide the pace, so each person’s perspective shapes the work.
People who come for help with divorce, separation, forgiveness, guilt, or loneliness find a mix of skills and reflective work. Sessions often include concrete tools for handling conflict, building boundaries, and improving self-worth. Progress is measured in what feels different between meetings rather than in labels.
Her style is direct and respectful. She helps adults sort through practical problems at home and supports clearer thinking about next steps. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.
How sessions work
Approaches used for online sessions
Justine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her work. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and social phobia. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past events affect current responses and helps reduce their ongoing impact through paced, targeted work.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and crisis coping are priorities. DBT skills teach concrete strategies for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss options and adjust methods to fit the client’s needs and goals.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use this flexibility to keep steady progress while balancing everyday life.
