Justin Salcedo, LPC

Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and build a life that feels meaningful. He emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental style and aims to help clients make choices that match their values. Justin has practiced in mental health settings since 2015 and brings practical experience to each session.

He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked in university counseling, psychiatric hospital care, substance abuse treatment, classroom teaching, and private practice. That mix gives him experience with both short-term crises and longer term challenges. He has supported people facing depression, suicidal thoughts, traumatic stress, substance misuse, psychotic and mood disorders, grief, and feelings of emptiness or loneliness.

Justin’s approach centers on acceptance and commitment strategies blended with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness. Sessions start with listening and understanding what matters to the person. Then he helps people notice habits that keep them stuck and practice new, doable actions that align with their goals.

He also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior methods to tailor work to each person. That means therapy aims to increase emotional awareness, improve coping skills, and reduce patterns that fuel anxiety or unhealthy behavior. Treatment plans are made together, not imposed by the therapist.

People who choose him can expect straightforward talk, practical exercises, and steady support while they try new ways of living. If someone wants help with relationships, addiction, ADHD, identity questions, or career strain, he helps them clarify next steps and build toward those goals.

How Justin Uses ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It tends to help with anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can support stress and anxiety management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed or adjusted over time to fit what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice mindfulness and behavioral experiments in real-life settings, then bring observations back to sessions for feedback and planning.
