About Justin
Justin Mann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem challenges, and social anxiety and phobia.
He focuses on building a working relationship and helping people set clear goals. Sessions combine conversational work with practical strategies. He uses approaches that change thoughts and behaviors and pays attention to how multiple struggles interact in daily life.
Justin draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice and shift patterns of thinking that keep problems going. He also uses mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing supports people working through ambivalence around substance use and behavior change.
His background includes a Master’s degree in social work from Saint Louis University and membership in Phi Alpha Honor Society while at university. He practices in Missouri and brings 13 years of experience in community and clinical settings.
In sessions he aims to help people talk through current problems, try manageable experiments between meetings, and track small changes over time. He balances short-term problem solving with attention to the personal history that shapes how someone copes now.
Outside of work he enjoys playing music and spending time with his wife and two sons.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. Online CBT sessions often focus on short, doable tasks to try between meetings and on teaching clear skills for anxiety and mood problems.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These practices can be learned in conversation, practiced during a session, and adapted to everyday routines.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel mixed about changing behaviors like substance use. It uses focused questions and reflection to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will help the client and therapist decide together which methods match the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences. That can mean mixing strategies and adjusting them as progress is reviewed.
