About Justin
Justin Mann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, and issues around self-esteem and identity including LGBT concerns and guilt and shame.
Justin uses a mix of practical methods to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different ways of responding. Sessions often involve looking at unhelpful thought patterns, gentle attention to present-moment experience, and conversations about values and meaning. He also uses motivational conversation techniques when substance use or change readiness are involved.
People can expect a direct but respectful approach that focuses on strengths and on skills they can apply between sessions. Treatment plans are discussed together so the next steps are clear and measurable. Justin aims to help people untangle relationship and work problems while also addressing emotional patterns such as shame, guilt, or avoidance.
Justin holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Saint Louis University and is a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society from his graduation class. He lives in Missouri and draws on both short-term skills work and longer-term psychodynamic reflection when appropriate.
Outside of clinical work he enjoys music and spending time with his wife and two sons, which informs his understanding of everyday family pressures and role-related stress.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Justin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed shame or guilt. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing present-moment experience without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to decide what methods to try based on goals, past experience, and what feels manageable. That collaborative planning can include short-term skill-building or deeper, reflective work depending on what the person wants.
