About Justin

Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting matters, and anger. He also helps clients facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and major life changes.

Justin focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. He helps people talk through upsetting moments, build better coping habits, and reduce the arguments or resentment that keep repeating. Sessions are meant to be straightforward so clients can try new approaches between meetings.

He has worked across a range of concerns that include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family questions, adoption and foster care challenges, and caregiving stress. Justin also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness or pain, and co-occurring problems that complicate daily life. He is familiar with topics related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture and addresses those without judgment.

In sessions he aims to listen first, then help set short, clear goals. He encourages small, practical steps that fit into a busy life. People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer ways to notice triggers and respond differently.

To begin, prospective clients choose the online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common method helps people recognize patterns that lead to anger and then practice different reactions. This approach is about spotting triggers, slowing responses, and trying new behaviors during everyday life. Another technique emphasizes coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching short grounding exercises and planning small steps to reduce overwhelm. These methods are useful for relationship strain, work frustration, and recurring resentment.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their needs. If an approach does not fit, adjustments are made together so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people practice skills in real-life settings and carry new habits into daily routines without promising any specific outcome.
