Dr. Justin Cole, LCSW, CSW

Dr. Justin Cole is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He brings a calm, straightforward style and encourages people to take the first step toward change. He recognizes that starting therapy can feel risky and aims to make the process easier for those who reach out.

He draws on 25 years of experience in social work, including service as an Army Social Work Officer. That background shaped his focus on practical problem solving and steady support. He listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name specific goals to work toward.

His approach combines several evidence-based methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and respond differently to uncomfortable thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-Based work addresses how early relationships affect current connections and intimacy.

Dr. Cole also incorporates client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy ideas to keep sessions grounded and useful. He has worked with issues such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic pain and body image concerns, as well as complex personality and relationship challenges. He invites clear, honest conversation and practical steps between sessions.

People meeting with him can expect direct feedback, guided skill practice, and support in making concrete changes. If you want a steady guide through anxiety, relationship strain, or intimacy difficulties, he offers experienced, down-to-earth care in Colorado.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Dr. Cole commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and intimacy, helping people change unhelpful interaction cycles.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then help shape a plan that fits. This means trying approaches, checking what works, and adjusting as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to practice skills between meetings, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to match everyday life.
