Dr. Justin Cole, LCSW, CSW

Dr. Justin Cole offers straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, intimacy questions, and parenting challenges. He introduces himself in a calm, direct way and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

He draws on long experience from prior service as an Army Social Work Officer and a lengthy career in Colorado social work. That background informs how he listens to practical problems like relationship conflict, caregiver stress, and issues around aging, illness, or chronic pain. He also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment fears, and personality-related challenges such as avoidant or dependent patterns.

In sessions he encourages honest talk about feelings and thoughts. He works to create a nonjudgmental space where people can name what is hard and test small changes. His approach mixes methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors with work on emotions and relationships.

Dr. Cole uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He brings 25 years of clinical experience and holds the titles LCSW and CSW as noted in his professional record.

People who want help with communication problems, intimacy worries, blended family dynamics, or caregiver strain will find practical tools and clearer next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance keeps life small. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that fuel worry and low mood, offering practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating to partners and family.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Expect shared decision making about which techniques to use and regular check-ins on progress.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy life, and allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are not practical. It also lets people try talk-based work from different locations when that suits their day. If you have questions about format or timing, mention them during the matching questionnaire so scheduling aligns with your needs.
