About Justin
Justin Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma. He also supports clients with parenting, career strain, sleep and eating issues, and questions around identity and self-esteem.
His background includes roles as a hospital crisis counselor and clinical director in agencies that work with children at risk of removal from their homes.
Background and approach
He has led school programs for emotionally disturbed children and supervised other therapists for many years. That mix of settings shaped his practical, hands-on approach to care. Justin’s style is direct and empathetic.
In session he listens, asks clear questions, and offers strategies clients can try between meetings. He leans on approaches like existential therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful. He often helps people rebuild communication, address attachment or abandonment concerns, and manage overwhelming emotions.
He works with trauma related to emotional and physical abuse and neglect, and supports people coping with life changes including adoption and foster care issues. Sessions focus on real-world changes and practical strategies. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, straightforward feedback, and tools to practice outside sessions.
He treats each person as the expert on their life while offering direction and support.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Justin uses existential therapy to help people face big life questions and find personal meaning during difficult transitions. That approach can be useful for clients coping with identity questions, major life changes, or feelings of emptiness and uncertainty.He also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. This work helps when patterns around closeness, abandonment, or communication keep repeating in adult relationships. Client-centered therapy guides the pace of work as well - the person’s experience sets the agenda and the therapist offers reflective listening and gentle guidance.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person’s needs. Together they’ll adjust the focus based on what helps most in practice.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for conversational work and demonstrations of skills, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short check-ins work well via chat or messaging. These options aim to fit therapy into busy lives and support steady progress without requiring travel.
