About Justin

LPC Justin Gaw has four years of clinical experience and works from Texas. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. He also pays attention to autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, panic, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, self-love, and social anxiety.

Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnotherapy, Jungian therapy, and mindfulness therapy in his work. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify patterns that make problems worse. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and build small, practical habits that reduce day-to-day distress.

In sessions he may combine practical skills with exploratory work about life meaning and personal narratives. That can include guided relaxation or focused imagery alongside thought-challenging and behavioral experiments. The focus is on what someone wants to change and concrete steps toward that goal.

Justin’s training is reflected by his LPC credential. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. He practices in Texas and offers services in English.

People considering therapy are encouraged to check which session formats are currently offered before booking. The first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting to talk about goals and fit.

How his methods translate to online work

Justin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy trains attention and awareness so people can respond differently to stress and impulsive urges.

He also integrates hypnotherapy when appropriate, using guided relaxation and imagery to access focused states for habit change or trauma processing. Hypnotherapy sessions emphasize calm induction and structured suggestions to support behavioral shifts and reduced reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about your goals, review what has or has not worked before, and suggest a mix of techniques. Together you decide which methods to try and how to pace changes over time.

Confirm the specific session formats offered before scheduling. This profile does not list formats, so it is important to verify options and any technical requirements. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical for everyday life.
