About Justin
Justin Dantzler, LMHC, helps adults and young adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, workplace strain, and relationship concerns. He often works with people exploring men's issues and members of the LGBTQ+ community. His style aims to make conversations straightforward and practical so clients can take steps that fit their daily lives.
Justin brings two decades of experience in counseling and related fields. Before focusing on individual counseling he spent many years in nonprofit work and led a state-funded program serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He has also worked as an Applied Behavior Specialist and facilitated mentoring groups for youth and adults.
His background includes time as a first-responding firefighter, which shaped his understanding of burnout, emotional resilience, and the pressures people face in high-stress jobs. That experience often informs how he talks about work-life balance and coping strategies with clients.
Justin uses a person-centered, holistic approach. He meets people where they are and helps them move toward what matters to them. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building practical skills, and setting achievable goals.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, and he is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. Outside work he is married and is a parent, perspectives he sometimes draws on when clients discuss family or fatherhood concerns.
Tele-therapy is part of his practice, and he offers video-based individual counseling. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options to make sure they match their needs.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he employs emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with actionable skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps when someone is dealing with stress, worry, or work-related overwhelm.Another approach centers on building emotional resilience and improving communication. It focuses on recognizing patterns that strain relationships or work life and practicing new ways of relating and setting boundaries. This can help with commitment concerns, conflict, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day realities. Clients and therapist regularly check progress and adjust methods as needed.
Justin offers video-based tele-therapy as part of his practice, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and avoid travel time. If you prefer other formats, confirm available options before booking to ensure they match your needs. Online work can be used to practice skills between meetings, do focused check-ins during a workday, and maintain continuity through life changes.
