About Justin
Justin Hughes is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Alabama who helps people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. He also supports people facing trauma, addictions, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Justin writes plainly and works to make each conversation practical and focused on the client’s immediate needs.
He draws on approaches that help people notice what matters to them and take small, workable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Sessions typically focus on identifying patterns that cause distress and testing new ways of responding in daily life. The work blends problem-solving with attention to emotions and values. Justin has three years of clinical experience as an LICSW and uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
He also incorporates Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused approaches when they fit a person’s goals. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental conversational style that balances listening with practical suggestions. Justin is willing to work from either a Christian perspective or a secular one, depending on what the person prefers.
He aims to help people build resilience and clearer direction for life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It’s useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with stress, mood problems, and managing intense reactions like anger.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. If one approach doesn’t feel helpful, they will adjust the plan together and try other techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, or Trauma-Focused methods as appropriate.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can work on anger, coping, and recovery in ways that match their daily life.
