About Justine
Justine Harris-Brown is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, panic attacks, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at people who want practical help they can use right away.
She creates a calm, accepting space where people can speak without judgment. Sessions emphasize listening first, then working together to find steps that feel doable. Justine pays attention to how past hurts and current relationships shape daily choices and mood.
Her practice draws on client-centered therapy, which keeps the person's goals and values in the lead. She also brings in tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices when they help with symptoms like panic, social anxiety, or intrusive thoughts. Trauma-focused ideas are used carefully for people coping with abuse or deep loss.
Work with her often includes skill-building for managing intense emotions, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing small behavior changes. She supports people through separation, forgiveness, guilt, intimacy worries, and identity questions without pushing a single path forward.
Justine has nine years of clinical experience and frames progress as steady steps rather than quick fixes. People who prefer a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that combines listening with practical tools may find her style helpful.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and values. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client rather than imposing a plan. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what kind of change they want.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to reduce distress. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent worry because it offers clear, repeatable strategies to practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling crisis moments. Those skills can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people want better ways to communicate and set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods based on what helps. Working together helps shape a plan that fits the person's pace and preferences.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy for the way it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a tough week. Online work can also let someone use shorter check-ins or focus on skill practice between longer sessions to fit therapy into everyday life.
