About Justin
Dr. Justin Cole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 25 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and intimacy-related issues, and parenting. Sessions are offered in English and reflect his background as a former Army Social Work Officer.
He helps people talk through relationship and family conflicts in straightforward terms. He also addresses abandonment, attachment concerns, and communication problems. When health and caregiving strain daily life, he works with clients on coping strategies that relate to those real pressures.
His approach combines several practical therapies. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck. He draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used for skills work and managing emotions.
In sessions he leans toward client-centered listening and collaborative problem solving. Expect direct discussion, skill practice, and planning for small, achievable changes between meetings. The focus is on clear, usable strategies for everyday life rather than abstract theory.
Dr. Cole’s military social work background informs a structured, disciplined approach to planning and follow-through. He works with issues related to chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, body image, and domestic violence as part of a broader practice addressing relationship and life stressors.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice stressful thoughts without getting stuck on them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has become a problem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and intimacy. It can help when communication breaks down or people repeat familiar hurtful dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for managing anxiety, changing avoidance, and improving daily routines.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate on which approaches to use. This helps shape session structure, homework, and skills practice so the work fits the client's needs and pace.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients practice skills between meetings in their everyday environments. Talk with the therapist about what will work best given work, family, and health demands so sessions can be arranged to fit real life.
