About Justin
Dr. Justin Cole helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family strain, intimacy questions, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about reaching out. He brings 25 years of experience to his work and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, as well as CSW.
Dr. Cole previously served as an Army Social Work Officer and draws on that background when helping people sort through complex life events.
In sessions he focuses on practical tools and steady listening. He uses structured techniques when helpful and also makes space for people to describe what matters most to them.
The goal is to build clearer communication, reduce overwhelming stress, and restore connection where it has frayed. Dr.
Cole uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s situation. These include methods that address thoughts and behavior, work on emotional bonds, and develop skills for committed relationships.
He favors plain language and direct steps people can use between appointments. He practices in Colorado and conducts work in English.
Many people choose him because they want straightforward guidance, a calm presence, and methods that relate to day-to-day life rather than only theory.
Approaches for online relationship and stress work
Dr. Cole commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making steady choices that align with what matters to someone.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current bonds shape trust and closeness. This approach helps people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting when old patterns cause pain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust over time so the work stays useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and practicing interaction, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy going when schedules are tight or travel is difficult.
