About Justin
Justin Gaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and ADHD-related challenges. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps so clients can feel less overwhelmed and more able to manage day-to-day demands. Justin uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. He also incorporates Jungian ideas to explore deeper patterns and mindfulness techniques to build steadiness in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be direct and problem-focused while also making space for meaning and personal growth. He works with people dealing with trauma, impulse problems, process addictions, panic, social anxiety, and relationship or family tensions. He also supports people struggling with guilt, shame, and low self-esteem.
Over four years of practice, Justin has focused on helping clients build skills they can use outside sessions. He favors simple, repeatable strategies such as thought records, paced breathing, and reflective exercises. These tools are meant to reduce symptoms and make daily routines feel more manageable.
People who choose him can expect goal-oriented work that balances short-term symptom relief with deeper personal insight. Appointments are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches you can use online
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which many people find helpful for stress and ADHD-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Sessions may mix skill practice, reflective questions, and short exercises to find what fits each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills where they matter most.
