About Justin
Justin Thiry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who draws on three years of clinical experience to support people facing a wide range of challenges.
Background and approach
He has worked with concerns such as addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and related issues like sleep problems, self-esteem, intimacy, and eating difficulties. His background also includes helping clients navigate career transitions, compassion fatigue, and seasonal mood shifts like SAD.
His style is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect and sensitivity rather than labels. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with elements of dialectical skills and motivational interviewing, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s goals and circumstances.
Justin emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, meeting clients where they are and working with them to build practical strategies for coping and growth. Justin practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.
He offers a range of remote session formats and uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In practice this means setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and using structured exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes learning coping skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These techniques can help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce impulsive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that explores ambivalence and strengthens personal motivation for change, which is often useful when addressing addictions or readiness for behavior change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Justin will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend a mix of techniques that fit each person's situation. He tailors conversations and treatment plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules, maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and practice skills in real-world moments with accessible support from a licensed professional.
