About Justine

Justine Harris-Brown is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Maryland with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, and depression. Her profile also notes a focus on divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, panic, self-love, and social anxiety.

She uses a client-centered approach to build a working relationship that emphasizes listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are offered to help manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm.

In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings, sort what’s pressing now, and try concrete techniques between meetings. That might look like short experiments with new ways of thinking or simple coping skills to use when panic or shame flare up. She also brings trauma-focused methods when past harm continues to affect daily life.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Conversations tend to focus on what the person is noticing, what they want to change, and steps they can take. Clients often work on rebuilding self-regard, repairing relationships, or finding clearer direction after loss or separation.

People should check the online therapy options and scheduling flow listed on the site before booking. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Maryland practice and clinical approaches.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Justine uses client-centered therapy to focus conversation on what matters most to the person. That approach prioritizes listening, reflecting back what the person says, and jointly deciding what to work on next. It helps when someone needs a steady, conversational way to unpack shame or guilt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered to identify and test unhelpful thoughts. Online sessions can include setting small experiments and reviewing how those experiments went between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are available to build emotion regulation and reduce panic or intense shame responses. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess which methods match the person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies as needed in collaboration with the client. The biography does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to use exercises or worksheets during a session without traveling. These practical benefits often help people maintain regular contact while working through guilt, shame, or relationship concerns.
