About Justin
Dr. Justin Cole is a Colorado LCSW and CSW with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and parenting challenges. Sessions focus on understanding how patterns from the family someone grew up in affect current behavior and relationships.
He draws on concrete therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Conversations are direct and practical. He helps people identify small changes they can try between sessions.
Justin's background includes work as an Army Social Work Officer. That experience informs his comfort discussing relationships under pressure and transitions tied to aging, caregiving, or chronic health concerns. He also has experience addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and communication problems.
In a typical session he listens to what matters most, highlights recurring family roles and expectations, and offers skills to shift behavior. He uses elements from Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate, always keeping the focus on present-day functioning rather than labels.
People who come for help with blended family stress, commitment worries, codependency, or caregiver strain will find an emphasis on practical steps. He also works with issues that intersect with body image, chronic illness, and domestic violence concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Colorado practice standards.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where family expectations lead to conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people practice new ways of relating in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the client's goals and preferences and decide together what to try first. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the time to review practical skills, practice communication techniques, and follow up on agreed exercises between meetings.
