About Justine
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable. Conversations often include examining patterns that sap energy, building small routines for daily coping, and trying new ways to handle difficult situations.
Justine works with people facing both everyday pressures and more complex concerns. Her background includes work with mood and personality disorders, postpartum depression, chronic illness and pain, and traumatic brain injury. She also addresses issues like isolation, communication problems, and life purpose questions including midlife crisis.
The approach is down-to-earth and strengths-based. She listens for what’s working, then helps expand those skills. Clients can expect straightforward talk, practical suggestions, and support while they try new ways of coping.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Justine bases her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, usable skills. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as short grounding exercises, breathing strategies, and step-by-step plans to break down overwhelming tasks. These tools help people manage day-to-day symptoms and regain a sense of control.Another approach centers on building self-esteem and motivation through behavioral experiments and small goal-setting. This method encourages trying new behaviors in manageable steps, then reviewing what helped and what didn’t. It is useful for career uncertainty, low confidence, and midlife reassessment when people want to test new ways of living without big upfront changes.
Finding the right mix of techniques is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Justine supports clients in choosing approaches that match their needs and preferences rather than imposing one fixed model.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Confirm the session options offered and schedule according to availability to see what fits best.
