About Justin
Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. He speaks plainly and focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. He encourages small steps and practical changes rather than quick fixes.
With ten years of experience, Justin has supported people dealing with addictions, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles.
Background and approach
He also works with concerns related to intimacy, relationship and family dynamics, bipolar mood patterns, and ADHD. His practice includes attention to a wide range of life challenges such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image issues. Sessions emphasize clear communication and collaborative planning.
Justin listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps people try different strategies to manage emotions and make decisions. He keeps goals practical so progress can be noticed between sessions. Justin tailors sessions to what each person needs.
Sometimes that means short-term problem solving for a specific issue like anger or anxiety. Other times it means longer work on underlying patterns such as attachment or codependency. He offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
That variety helps people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.

Approaches that guide online work and practical support
Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in straightforward, usable ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different coping strategies to reduce anxiety and anger. That work helps people notice triggers and test new responses in everyday situations.A second approach emphasizes behavioral strategies and stepwise change. This involves setting small, achievable goals and tracking progress between sessions, which can be helpful for addictions, motivation, and mood concerns. These methods aim to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they'll choose techniques that match the person's history and present needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through several formats to make counseling easier to fit into life. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn't practical. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum while they work toward their goals.
