About Justin

Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with ten years of professional experience. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, which means he has met state requirements to provide mental health counseling. Over the past decade he has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, processing grief and loss, and strengthening motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

He emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and examined. In sessions he works collaboratively with individuals to clarify goals and to identify practical steps toward change, balancing skill development with opportunities for reflection. He recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors the effort involved in taking that first step.

His practice centers on applying evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs, with attention to building coping strategies and addressing patterns that interfere with wellbeing. Justin aims to support steady progress so people can better manage challenges and move toward their goals.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Justin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and reflective work. One core approach centers on teaching coping strategies and problem-solving skills to help manage symptoms of stress, anxiety, and mood challenges; this approach emphasizes concrete tools that can be used between sessions. Another thread of his work concentrates on exploration and processing of difficult experiences such as grief, losses, and patterns in relationships, offering space to understand how past events influence present functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Justin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, adjusting emphasis on skills training or deeper exploration according to progress and client feedback.

Online therapy with Justin is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which increases flexibility for scheduling and lets people engage in therapy from familiar environments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
