Justine St. Cyr, LPC

Justine St. Cyr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety alongside trauma, depression, and concerns related to attention and concentration. She aims to make the first step easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy. She uses a friendly, open approach where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions center on what the person brings in that day and practical steps for reducing overwhelm. Short-term goals and coping skills are common parts of her work. Her practice often combines straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness exercises. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful thinking, calm racing thoughts, and practice new ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's priorities. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she uses trauma-focused strategies alongside grounding and stabilization work. This helps people manage intense emotions before addressing painful memories in more depth. The pace is set by the client. Justine also supports clients with parenting stress, relationship friction, and identity questions connected to LGBT concerns. She works with people navigating life transitions, grief, and burnout. Her goal is to help clients build clear, usable tools for day-to-day life.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Justine often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage daily stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness through simple practices that calm the body and reduce reactivity.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person's needs. That means the therapist listens closely and adjusts pace and goals based on what the client says. Together they decide which approaches to emphasize so the plan fits the client's goals and comfort level.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to use tools like guided breathing or thought-record worksheets during the call. A therapist can discuss how to structure sessions to match your routine and needs.
