About Justin
Dr. Justin Cole helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressure, or codependency. He introduces a calm, straightforward presence so people can talk through hard topics. His style aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried about asking for help.
He draws on many years of practice, including time as an Army Social Work Officer, and brings 25 years of professional experience to therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills that people can use between meetings. He works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

Dr. Cole uses several approaches to support change, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He matches methods to what each person needs and prefers rather than using one fixed style.
He is licensed in Colorado as an LCSW and also holds a CSW credential. Sessions are offered in English. To start, people follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an appointment according to therapist availability.
Approaches that inform online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps people who are stuck in avoidance or who want clearer direction in relationships and life choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. It can be useful for intimacy and connection struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can try different strategies and test what works. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life needs rather than using a single fixed model.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet from different places in Colorado without changing locations. The therapist will discuss what works best for timing, follow-up, and practice between meetings during the initial scheduling conversation.
