Justin Carson, LPC

Justin Carson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with seven years of clinical experience. He works with individuals, couples, families, and groups, applying evidence-based methods to help people regain a sense of balance and forward momentum in their lives.

He focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of emphasis include codependency, control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin problems, first responder issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, men’s concerns, and challenges faced by young adults.

Justin draws on client-centered principles along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person. He believes that life’s difficulties are part of the human experience and that growth often comes from learning practical coping skills, reestablishing personal agency, and practicing self-forgiveness. An LPC is a state license that authorizes him to provide professional counseling services in Georgia, and he aims to collaborate with clients to build resilience and sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Justin uses client-centered work to build a collaborative relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of change - this approach supports self-esteem, life transitions, and exploration of personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and patterns that interfere with relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Justin works together with each person to select and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, treating the process as a shared exploration rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy with Justin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, geographic constraints, or life transitions, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and goal-oriented work.
