About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people reduce suffering and pursue a more meaningful life. He emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental approach and aims to build a trusting connection with each person he meets. Justin’s work centers on practical steps you can take now to feel better and move toward what matters to you.
He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked in several settings since 2015. His background includes counseling students at a university, providing care in a psychiatric hospital, supporting people with severe substance use and co-occurring mental health issues, teaching at the university level, supervising other therapists, and offering private practice psychotherapy.
Justin draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. He prefers to identify what is keeping someone stuck and to shape treatment together, rather than imposing a fixed plan. Therapy sessions focus on gaining distance from distressing thoughts and learning behaviors that align with personal values.
He has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression and mood disorders, trauma and grief, addictions, ADHD, relationship and communication struggles, and issues around identity and self-esteem. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the concerns he lists.
Justin encourages people to choose a counselor they feel comfortable with, noting that the relationship is a key part of progress. He aims to listen closely, support decision making, and help clients take manageable steps toward a life they value.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to live in line with their values while allowing difficult thoughts to exist without acting on them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, panic-related worries, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person seeking help.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines elements from different approaches as appropriate and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t helping.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing appointments during breaks, or offering a shorter check-in when that suits your schedule. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care if circumstances change. Ask about available session formats when you schedule to ensure they match your needs.
