Justin Dantzler

Justin Dantzler, LMHC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with 20 years of experience. He helps adults and young adults who feel stuck, facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or questions about life purpose. He also supports people dealing with workplace issues, men’s concerns, and the stresses that follow big life changes.

Justin uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques in sessions. He listens for patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and helps them test new ways of responding. Conversations often focus on concrete problem-solving, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

His background includes leadership in state-funded services and work as an Applied Behavior Specialist. He has long experience running mentoring groups and supporting underserved and at-risk people. That mix of clinical work and community practice shapes how he approaches practical problems in daily life.

Justin has experience as a first-responding firefighter and understands pressures from high-stress jobs. That perspective informs work on burnout, emotional resilience, and balancing work with family demands. He also supports members of the LGBTQ+ community and fathers managing parenting and responsibility.

Sessions focus on concrete steps and observation of what changes in everyday life. He encourages testing small shifts, tracking results, and adjusting plans based on what actually helps. For people unsure what comes next, he offers steady practical guidance rather than promises about outcomes.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Justin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, low mood, and work stress. Behavioral methods emphasize small experiments and routine changes to rebuild confidence and reduce avoidance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their situation and goals, adjusting as progress is seen. Sessions are conversational and focused on what works in daily life rather than abstract theories.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their day, letting them schedule shorter check-ins or evening appointments without travel. Online work also makes it simpler to continue support through life changes and to try practical tasks between meetings, keeping therapy connected to real-world routines.
