About Justin

Justin Mann is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

He brings a whole-person orientation to care, recognizing that emotional, relational, and behavioral struggles often overlap and influence one another. Drawing on a mix of practical techniques and a strengths-focused stance, he supports clients in developing new ways of thinking and behaving that better align with their goals.

With 13 years of clinical experience, Justin blends evidence-informed strategies with empathic collaboration to address areas such as self esteem, communication problems, control issues, men’s issues, mood disorders, narcissism, and workplace stress. He also works with issues related to substance use and loss, including addictions and post-traumatic stress.

His practice emphasizes partnership, helping clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change over time.

Bringing therapy approaches into online care

Justin often incorporates Internal Family Systems to help people explore and relate to the different parts of themselves, fostering internal understanding and greater self-leadership. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete strategies that change emotions and behaviors over time. Existential therapy is drawn on to examine meaning, values, and life choices when clients face questions about purpose or identity.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods over time so the work feels useful and relevant. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support without travel, while allowing therapists to apply the same core methods across formats.
