About Justin
Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He uses a warm, nonjudgmental approach to help people reduce suffering and move toward a life that feels meaningful. Justin emphasizes the relationship between client and counselor as the main factor in long-term progress.
He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked in several care settings since 2015. His background includes counseling students at a university, providing care in a psychiatric hospital, treating people with severe substance use and co-occurring concerns, teaching at the university level, supervising other clinicians, and offering individual work in private practice.
Justin has helped people through a wide range of struggles including depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, traumatic stress, substance use and other addictions, psychotic and mood disorders, grief, and feelings of emptiness or loneliness. He focuses on practical steps that match each person’s values and life goals.
His clinical style centers on supportive listening and collaboration. He aims to identify processes that contribute to distress and then tailor evidence-based methods together with each person. Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) inform his work alongside cognitive and mindfulness techniques.
Justin invites people to check whether he feels like a good fit before committing to longer work. He encourages clear conversations about goals, so sessions focus on building useful skills and everyday changes that matter to each person.

How his approaches guide online work
Justin draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change, using gentle questions and reflection to build motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and reconnect with meaningful values, turning intentions into action. Client-Centered Therapy informs his overall stance, prioritizing empathy, listening, and acceptance as the foundation for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than following a single template. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting techniques over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can occur between commitments. Licensed professionals like him aim to make therapy practical and applicable to everyday life while tailoring pace and tools to each person's situation. -
