Justin Salcedo , LPC

Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who draws on years of clinical experience to help people reduce suffering and build lives that feel meaningful. He has worked in the mental health field since 2015 and holds a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University. His background includes university counseling, psychiatric hospital care, treatment of severe substance use and co-occurring disorders, university-level teaching, supervision of other therapists, and private practice work. Together these experiences inform a practical, flexible approach to care.

Justin has provided psychotherapy for a wide range of concerns, including depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, traumatic stress, substance use and other addictions, psychotic and mood disorders, grief, loneliness, and issues related to relationships and identity. He approaches therapy with warm, nonjudgmental support and seeks to empower clients to make their own choices and to pursue value-driven living. He uses evidence-based methods to identify processes that contribute to distress and to tailor interventions collaboratively.

At the center of his work is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a modern form of cognitive behavioral work that helps people create distance from unhelpful thinking while taking steps toward what matters to them. Justin aims to create a space where clients feel heard, develop mental breathing room from painful thoughts, and take committed action aligned with personal values.
