About Justin
Justin Dantzler, LMHC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with 20 years of experience. He works with adults and young adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues like guilt and shame, forgiveness, and challenges tied to fatherhood and workplace stress.
Justin combines clinical experience with long-term nonprofit and first-responder work. He has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling. His background includes directing a state-funded agency serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and working as an Applied Behavior Specialist.
He has provided mentoring and counseling for at-risk and underserved groups. Justin draws on that history when supporting people facing isolation, communication problems, infidelity, commitment concerns, or the fallout of divorce and separation. He also talks with men about identity, purpose, and self-love issues.
In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centered stance. He focuses on helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try practical changes that fit their life. Conversations are grounded and direct, with attention to emotional reactions like guilt, shame, and regret.
Justin offers individual counseling through tele-therapy and brings experience from his work as a firefighter to discussions about burnout and resilience. Outside of work he is married and a parent, and he often integrates real-life roles into the work people bring to sessions.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a straightforward way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce distress; this can help with guilt, anxiety, and low mood. Another useful method addresses interpersonal patterns and communication problems, helping people try clearer ways to voice needs and set boundaries during relationship strain or after infidelity.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and practical constraints. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to a single path from the start.
The profile states he offers individual counseling via tele-therapy, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, to check in briefly during a stressful week, or to avoid travel time. Video sessions let the therapist and client read expressions and tone, while audio-only or shorter check-ins can work when bandwidth or attention is limited. Ask about the formats available when you schedule so sessions align with your routine.
