About Justin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arkansas with 15 years of experience, Justin Laffoon helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma. He also addresses grief, addictions, eating concerns, parenting strains, anger, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and issues related to LGBT identity. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties.
Justin uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide sessions. He aims to create a direct, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Work in sessions often includes identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new coping skills, and clarifying personal values to shape actions.
His style is straightforward and problem-focused while staying attentive to emotions that come up. That can mean short-term skill building for stress and anxiety or longer conversations about trauma, relationships, or identity. He also helps with caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and self-love concerns.
Justin frames progress as small, practical steps rather than dramatic change overnight. He encourages clients to try techniques between sessions and then review what worked. Clients can expect clear goals, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments to methods when needed.

How ACT, CBT and DBT shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who want to live more consistently with what matters to them rather than get caught up in avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often involves short experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and reacting, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for managing anger, relationship conflict, and emotional ups and downs.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. Sessions are a chance to test strategies and refine what helps most over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people work on skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation.
