Justin Thiry, LCSW

Justin Thiry is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania. He holds an LCSW and has three years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He approaches sessions with warmth and respect and aims to avoid stigmatizing labels.

Justin focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and motivational techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Conversations are interactive and tailored to each person's situation.

He often helps people manage sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. He also supports those dealing with trauma or abuse and people coping with major life changes. Process addictions such as porn, exercise, and gambling are part of his practice.

Sessions aim to be focused and collaborative. Justin works with clients on concrete goals like improving relationships, reducing anxiety, or building healthier routines. He frames work as a step-by-step process rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

People can expect feedback, skills practice, and short-term strategies alongside longer-term coping plans. Justin adapts his pacing to fit each person's needs and preferences. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical problem solving throughout the work.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation by teaching new ways to think and behave. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions or relationship conflict get in the way of daily life.

Justin approaches treatment as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they set clear targets, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well when visual interaction helps the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text sessions allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while pursuing concrete skills and goals.
