Justine St. Cyr, LPC

Justine St. Cyr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and attention concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Justine aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and affirming.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to look at unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to make space for each person's experience and build awareness of thoughts and feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, achievable goals.

Sessions are described in simple terms. Justine listens without judgment and helps people name what is most pressing. From there she and the client pick a few small strategies to try and check progress together.

Her work includes supporting people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, identity-related concerns such as gender dysphoria, and challenges tied to adoption or blended families. She also helps with body image, impulsivity, mood symptoms, and the emotional effects of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Justine has six years of professional experience in counseling. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Justine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on practical exercises you can try between sessions and review later to see what helps.

She also draws on client-centered therapy and mindfulness approaches to create a listening space and build present-moment awareness. Client-centered work emphasizes being heard and respected, while mindfulness supports noticing thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting, which can help with mood, attention, and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. Clients can expect to collaborate on which techniques feel most useful and to track progress together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to work around work, school, caregiving, and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
