About Justin
Justin Mann is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma. He focuses on building a working relationship so people can set clear goals and make steady progress. His approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at real-life changes rather than jargon.
He treats each person as a whole, noting that mood, relationships, and substance use often affect one another.
Background and approach
Sessions often include work on thinking patterns, practical coping skills, and ways to improve daily routines. Mindfulness and reflective conversations are used to help people notice what matters most to them. Justin draws from a mix of short-term and deeper therapies to match the issue at hand.
That can mean solution-focused work for immediate problems or longer talk therapy for deeper patterns. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help changing habits like substance use. His background includes a master’s degree in social work from Saint Louis University and 13 years of clinical experience.
He holds the LCSW credential and practices in Missouri. This combination gives him a range of options to help people facing complex challenges. Outside of work he enjoys music and family time with his wife and two sons.
He aims to make sessions understandable, practical, and aligned with each person’s values.
How these approaches translate to online care
Justin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace or relationship stress because it breaks problems into concrete steps and practical skills.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people become more aware of their moment-to-moment experience. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity, ease rumination, and improve focus during daily tasks. Motivational Interviewing is employed when someone wants to change habits such as substance use; it focuses on building internal motivation and small, sustainable steps.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He works with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and comfort level. That can mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a brief check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit work, family, and travel schedules while keeping therapy focused on practical change.
