About Justin

Justin Ungar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on a decade of clinical experience to support clients navigating depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, among other issues. His work also addresses less commonly discussed areas such as attachment wounds, adoption and foster care matters, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and kink-informed sexual concerns.

Ungar emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and practical problems alike. He partners with each person to build motivation, strengthen coping skills, and increase confidence, tailoring support to the particular mix of symptoms and life circumstances presented.

Prospective clients who are ready to take the first step will find a therapist who values courage and collaboration as part of the healing process.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients address symptoms and life challenges. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing grief, trauma, or attachment wounds by creating a space to explore emotions and develop healthier patterns of relating and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and adjusts methods over time based on what proves most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow people to engage in therapy in ways that match their daily life and communication style.
