About Justin

Justin Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia who brings a blend of clinical training and real-world experience to outpatient counseling. He holds master’s degrees in counseling and theology and draws on nearly seven years of prior work as a hospice medical social worker to inform a compassionate, grounded approach to care.

Over the course of his nine-year career, Justin has developed experience supporting people affected by trauma, as well as those facing depression and anxiety. He centers his work on building a therapeutic relationship that begins with unconditional acceptance, helping people feel seen where they are before working toward change. That client-centered stance is paired with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy - techniques that help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.

Justin combines empathic listening with structured interventions, aiming to create a collaborative space where clients set goals and learn concrete strategies to navigate stressors. As an LPC, he focuses on meeting each person’s needs while guiding them toward outcomes that matter in daily life.

Therapeutic Methods and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s experience guides the work; this approach helps people who need space to be heard and validated before tackling change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them while clarifying values and committed action - it can help people move forward even when discomfort remains.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Justin will work collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is both personally meaningful and practically effective.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and people can also connect via live chat or text-based messaging when that better fits their routine. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and fit therapy into a busy life while working toward meaningful change.
