About Justin
Justin Laffoon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arkansas with 15 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, loss, and anger. He also supports those facing trauma, addiction, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT matters.
Justin prefers straightforward sessions that focus on practical steps. He encourages honest conversation about what is happening and which responses are causing trouble. Sessions look at how habits, thoughts, and behaviors keep problems going, and then practice different ways of responding.
His approach draws on evidence-based methods that teach skills and workable strategies. He uses exercises to manage strong emotions, build better communication, and reduce repeated patterns that lead to conflict. He helps people try out new responses in small, manageable steps.
Justin has worked with caregivers and people feeling isolated or burned out, and he pays attention to guilt, shame, and forgiveness as parts of emotional change. He also addresses parenting stress and relationship communication rather than running couples or family sessions.
People who meet with him can expect clear goals and attention to what matters day to day. He asks about routines, triggers, and strengths, then practices concrete skills in session. To begin, clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a first meeting.
How ACT, CBT and DBT inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them drive action. It focuses on values-based steps so someone can move toward what matters even while feeling angry or anxious. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for tolerating strong emotions, regulating intensity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative - pacing and techniques change based on what helps most in practice.
The site lists how to start, but the specific session formats offered by this clinician should be confirmed 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. It also allows practicing skills between meetings and bringing real-life examples into sessions for immediate feedback.
