01About Justin
Dr. Justin Panneck helps people who feel stuck, stressed, or unsure how to move forward. He writes short, direct plans with clients and focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and clarify life direction.
He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Oregon and brings ten years of professional experience to his work. Justin combines straightforward coaching with counseling to support career shifts, grief, addiction recovery, and changes in relationships.
Background and approach
He uses hands-on and conversational tools so sessions often feel active rather than purely talk-based. Clients can expect a blend of goal-setting, skill practice, and reflective discussion. His background includes several years doing nature-based therapy on a large farm and subsequent independent practice work.
That experience shaped his interest in experiential methods, outdoor-based rituals, and creative practices that help people reconnect with purpose and calm. He also has academic training in counseling, education, and a PhD in health psychology focused on coping with life stress. Dr.
Panneck integrates techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, existential approaches, and client-centered work. He often pairs psychological tools with lifestyle supports like movement and nutrition to help stabilize mood and attention. People who like practical plans, occasional creative exercises, and a coach-style approach may find his style helpful.
He welcomes conversations about preparing for and integrating personal healing experiences that clients pursue outside of therapy.

04Online support
How his approach and online therapy work together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck by teaching practical exercises for staying present and committed to small steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve close connections and personal regulation. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues and deep emotional hurt. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories by using structured processing techniques to reduce distress and make those memories less disruptive.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods gradually and adjust plans based on what helps most in regular check-ins.
Online therapy here uses video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions let people read facial cues and do deeper exercises, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short coaching notes, written practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or family routines and to continue work after in-person experiences that clients pursue on their own.
