About Justin
Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, parenting questions, and attention-related concerns.
Justin helps people talk through the immediate problems at home and the feelings those problems bring up. He focuses on clear, practical steps to manage anxiety and mood, and on ways to cope with loss, addictive behavior, and the day-to-day demands of parenting. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at what a person needs right now.
In sessions Justin listens for patterns that get in the way of relationships and daily functioning. He discusses communication habits, boundaries, and small behavioral shifts that make routines easier to manage. For someone dealing with conflict, anger, or intimacy concerns, he works on concrete ways to change interactions and reduce repeated fights.
Justin also addresses longer-term difficulties such as attachment wounds, abandonment issues, blended family tensions, and caregiving stress. He speaks plainly about how chronic illness, aging concerns, or adoption and foster care histories can affect mood and family roles. He will look at how these issues overlap with substance use and co-occurring mood conditions.
People who reach out can expect a direct, adult-focused approach that balances practical steps with space to process feelings. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site's procedure to answer a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How Justin uses evidence-based methods for online care
Justin draws on well-established therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and managing strong emotions. One common approach he uses teaches skills for regulating anxiety and mood through step-by-step behavior changes and thought management; this can help with panic, persistent worry, and depressive periods. Another approach he uses looks at relationship and communication patterns, helping people identify repeated interaction cycles and try different responses to reduce conflict and improve connection.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work with the therapist. He will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their daily life, and adjust strategies if something is not helping. That collaborative process helps match practical techniques to problems like parenting stress, addiction, or grief.
