About Justin
Justin Laffoon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. He also supports those dealing with addictions, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and caregiving stress. He works with LGBT clients and people exploring sexuality and self-love.
Justin keeps language simple and direct so worried parents can quickly understand the help available. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what they feel and start to make changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills and small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. He uses straightforward tools to manage strong emotions and daily pressures. Justin draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These approaches guide session work and homework between meetings. With 15 years of experience, Justin brings experience across many concerns without labeling or rushing clients.
He aims to explain options clearly and work at a pace people can handle. The focus is on problem solving, coping skills, and rebuilding confidence. Sessions are offered in English and are adaptable to different needs and schedules.
People who want a practical, down-to-earth therapist will find an approach centered on steady progress and real-life coping strategies.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes by teaching practical steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood, often using short exercises and between-session tasks. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high, which can help anger and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that feel suitable, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to use and how quickly to move forward.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls approximate an in-person discussion and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines while keeping focus on usable skills and steady progress.
