01About Justin
Justin Hughes is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with substance use. He also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, anger, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and he practices from Idaho with eleven years of experience.
Justin aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on skills you can use between meetings and small steps toward clearer goals. His approach draws on well-known methods, including acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered listening. He adapts techniques to match what a person needs that week, whether it is coping skills, emotion regulation, or clearer communication patterns.
People who come for help can expect clear explanations and a calm, respectful tone. Justin uses short-term skill building when that fits, and longer-term work when people need it. He balances teaching practical strategies with space to talk about what matters most.
Justin understands how stressful life changes can feel and focuses on steady progress. He invites clients to set simple, realistic goals and checks in on what is working. The aim is to help people feel more capable and in control of daily challenges.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Justin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making space for people to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges come up, and decisions about approach are made together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work through deeper material with visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days or allow ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
