Justin Laffoon is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience based in Arkansas. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. He also supports those facing trauma, addiction concerns, eating struggles, and issues related to sexuality or LGBT identity.

Justin aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. He emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so people can see small changes build over time. Sessions are focused on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

His work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape conversations and skill building. That mix lets him use both problem-solving and emotional regulation tools depending on what someone needs. He also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt, shame, forgiveness, and self-love.

Justin often helps people who feel isolated or lonely to reconnect with what matters to them and develop routines that reduce overwhelm. He treats issues such as bipolar symptoms, anger, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue with straightforward strategies and empathy. People who want calm, structure, and practical coping skills may find his style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest an approach or combination that fits. That choice can shift as progress is made and new issues appear, keeping the plan flexible and collaborative.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity of care when schedules change. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals so sessions feel manageable and useful.
