About Justine

Justine Harris-Brown is a licensed MD, LCPC clinician with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns.

Background and approach

She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem difficulties, including related areas such as panic attacks, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her style blends compassionate listening with practical, evidence-informed techniques.

Sessions emphasize building resilience, clarifying values, and developing concrete skills to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Justine draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to help clients reframe unhelpful thinking, build emotional regulation skills, and practice present-moment awareness.

Clients can expect care that centers individual experience and personal strengths, with attention to forgiveness, guilt, and challenges that follow separation or divorce. Based in Maryland, she offers therapy in English and frames treatment collaboratively so people can set goals that reflect their priorities and pace.

Integrating proven approaches into online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to reduce anxiety, manage depressive symptoms, and address panic or social fears by teaching practical skills and structured exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathic listening and supports clients in exploring values and personal goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and building coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques from these models so the work feels relevant and manageable. Clients participate in setting the pace and choosing methods that fit their daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions with ongoing therapist support.
