About Justin
Justin Hughes is an LPC practicing in Idaho who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
Background and approach
He draws on 11 years of clinical experience to help people manage symptoms, navigate complicated family dynamics, and work toward clearer goals. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs.
His approach blends structured, evidence-informed techniques with a collaborative, person-centered attitude. Justin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to strengthen emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
He also integrates client-centered principles and relationship-focused methods when appropriate. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients, providing multiple formats to suit varied schedules and preferences.
Approaches that shape online care and what they do
Justin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen symptoms, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people in clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. He also draws on client-centered principles to prioritize the person's own goals and lived experience while shaping the work.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process, and treatment is collaborative. The therapist and client will explore goals, preferences, and responses to early techniques, then tailor a combination of methods to suit practical needs and personal values rather than relying on a single model.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats allow scheduling across time zones, easier access when travel or mobility is limited, and the option to continue consistent work through varied life demands while maintaining the same licensed professional relationship.
