About Justin

Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on men’s wellbeing among many concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, self-esteem, and depression. He aims to create an open space where people can speak freely and feel heard. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel hard, and he acknowledges that courage.

Justin helps people talk through practical problems and painful experiences. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that get in the way of daily life and building small skills that make a difference. He addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and challenges tied to identity and sexuality, including LGBT matters.

He also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blending family dynamics. He can help people struggling after loss or trauma and those managing co-occurring difficulties.

Justin favors a straightforward, collaborative approach. He encourages open conversation and practical steps that fit into a person’s routine. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and comfort.

Sessions take into account how daily life and responsibilities affect emotional health. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedules sessions based on availability. This helps match goals and plan a clear path forward.

Practical approaches for online therapy and care

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One common approach emphasizes talking through current problems and identifying patterns that cause distress; it helps with anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns by clarifying what keeps problems going and testing small changes. Another approach centers on building coping skills and practical strategies for day-to-day challenges like mood swings, cravings, or managing grief; this involves short exercises and behavior-focused steps to try between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process means plans can shift as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, making it easier to attend around work or caregiving duties. Remote meetings can allow shorter check-ins or avoid travel time, and they support ongoing work during life transitions. Discuss the practical options when you start so sessions align with daily routines and goals.
