About Justin
Justin Hernandez is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as codependency and attachment difficulties. He also lists work with eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and ADHD among his focus areas.
He previously served as a hospital crisis counselor and has led clinical programs in schools and agencies that aim to keep children safely in their homes. That background includes supervising other therapists for nearly a decade and guiding staff on practical strategies to reduce home disruptions related to abuse and neglect.
In sessions he is direct and practical. He uses a mix of methods that include cognitive behavioral approaches, emotion-focused work, dialectical techniques, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered ways of listening. He aims to help people recognize patterns - like people-pleasing or trouble saying no - and practice concrete changes that fit daily life.
He has particular experience addressing trauma from emotional abuse, physical abuse, and neglect. He also helps people with abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and caregiving strain. Conversations often include communication skills, boundary-setting, and managing intense emotions.
Justin describes clients as the experts in their lives and positions his role as offering guidance and practical tools. He draws on years of supervisory and front-line work to support clearer communication and safer routines at home.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape expectations of others. Online sessions using attachment ideas often focus on identifying interaction cycles and practicing different, safer ways of connecting with partners or family members.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include short homework, thought records, and problem-solving steps that fit into everyday routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and name emotions and use that understanding to change relationship patterns. In an online setting this can mean practicing softening responses, expressing needs clearly, and rehearsing new ways of asking for support.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He draws on different techniques and checks in to see what is working, adjusting plans as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing logistics during the first appointment helps align scheduling and practical needs.
