About Justin
Justin Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He brings a direct and empathetic style to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents can use at home. His work often centers on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, and trauma.
He has 13 years of experience in clinical roles across settings. That experience includes crisis work in hospitals, independent practice, and leadership positions where he guided other clinicians.
Background and approach
Justin has also led programs aimed at preventing children from being removed from their homes when possible. Justin uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches. He commonly draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
He also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused techniques to improve how people relate to each other. In sessions he tends to be straightforward while staying warm and understanding. He emphasizes clear communication and practical strategies that parents can try between meetings.
He sees parenting stress, trauma, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and relationship strain among the issues people bring. As a supervisor he has supported other therapists in developing interventions for families and children. That supervisory background informs how he structures sessions and sets goals.
He frames clients as the experts in their lives and offers guidance to help them reach realistic, manageable changes.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotions and behavior. It helps people understand connection patterns and change how they relate to loved ones, which is often useful for parenting and relationship stress.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect. The therapist offers empathy and support while people lead the pace and focus of the work, useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through family or personal concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and behavior - skills people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match each person's goals and comfort level. That joint planning helps keep sessions focused and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with shifting schedules. Video calls are close to an in-person session and useful for deeper conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit during breaks, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share updates between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new strategies in daily life.
