About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship and a range of other concerns among his focus areas, including depression, addictions, grief, ADHD, and LGBT issues. Justin works with people who are struggling to manage difficult feelings and life changes and helps them move toward values-based living.
He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked across several settings since 2015. His background includes university counseling, psychiatric hospital care, treatment for severe substance use and co-occurring conditions, teaching at the university level, supervising therapists, and private practice work.
Justin uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and a client-centered stance. In sessions he focuses on identifying processes that contribute to distress and on practical ways to change daily behavior so it aligns with personal values.
He emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a key part of progress and encourages people to choose a counselor they trust and respect. Sessions involve talking through problems, learning ways to create mental distance from distressing thoughts, and building concrete skills for coping and communication.
People who are feeling stuck, isolated, overwhelmed by anxiety, or facing addiction and mood concerns may find his straightforward approach useful. To begin, Justin asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so they can see if the fit feels right.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy trains attention and awareness to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. This makes it easier to find ways of working that fit the person rather than expecting one fixed method.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling simpler and help sessions fit into busy routines, such as shorter check-ins between commitments or meeting without commuting. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real life between sessions and bring those experiences back to discuss. Justin uses his clinical approaches to guide online conversations and skill-building in much the same way as in person, and he will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit the client’s day-to-day life.
