About Justin

Justin Alexander is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. He uses straightforward techniques to help people learn skills, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and take steps that improve daily life. Many people seek him out for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and men's wellbeing concerns.

With 20 years of experience, he offers a steady, problem-solving approach. Sessions include teaching coping tools, looking at thought patterns, and setting small, achievable actions between meetings. He works with issues that range from panic attacks and bipolar concerns to grief, sleep and eating difficulties.

Justin also addresses relationship and family matters as individual concerns, including fatherhood issues, blended family challenges, and divorce or separation effects. He helps people manage anger, impulsivity, shame, and isolation while also supporting career and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a core method he uses. That means focusing on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and practicing alternatives that reduce distress and boost functioning.

Sessions and check-ins are handled by video or phone, and he typically monitors messages several times a day. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are required.

How CBT and phone or video sessions can fit your life

Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a main approach, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. CBT often includes practicing concrete skills between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

The therapist treats therapy as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose which methods make the most sense for their goals, pace, and preferences. Together they decide what to try and measure progress over time.

Sessions and check-ins are offered by video or phone according to the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow regular check-ins without taking as much time away from work or family. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not possible, while video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and feedback. Ask about messaging and brief check-ins since the therapist typically checks messages several times per day.
