About Justin
Dr. Justin Cole helps people who are stressed, anxious, or facing relationship and parenting challenges. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - based in Colorado with 25 years of experience.
He works to make conversations straightforward and grounded so worried parents can focus on next steps rather than feeling overwhelmed. He keeps sessions simple and practical. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that make stress worse.
Background and approach
He uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based strategies to build values-driven action. His background includes time as an Army social work officer, which shaped a calm, structured approach to problem solving. That experience informs how he supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic health problems, caregiver stress, and relationship struggles.
He also addresses concerns like attachment and commitment issues, blended family stress, communication problems, and body image worries. In meetings he favors clear goals and hands-on skill building. That can include emotion regulation skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and relational focus from attachment-based work.
Sessions aim to leave people with doable steps to try between meetings. Dr. Cole offers in-person and multiple remote session formats.
He speaks English and practices in Colorado. If someone prefers straightforward guidance and practical tools, he may be a good fit.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful actions even when difficult feelings are present. It’s useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. It’s often used for worry, depression, and stress-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean blending CBT skills, ACT practices, and relational focus from attachment work so sessions feel relevant and doable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing progress, or getting support between full sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical for busy lives.
