About Justine

Justine Walters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with grief, managing low self-esteem, and adjusting after major life changes. She also works with people experiencing compassion fatigue and those wanting to explore life purpose and self-love.

Justine focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what matters most and helps break larger problems into manageable steps. Sessions tend to include checking what is working now, naming priorities, and trying small changes between meetings.

When grief or loss is present, she helps people make sense of what has changed and figure out daily routines that feel doable. For self-esteem and motivation concerns the work looks at unhelpful self-talk and builds concrete, repeatable practices to notice different choices.

People facing workplace stress or compassion fatigue can expect a mix of coping strategies and communication skills. She will help identify boundaries and plan conversational approaches for difficult conversations at work or home. Forgiveness and repairing relationships are approached slowly and practically, focusing on what people can control.

Her practical style is steady and down-to-earth. New clients complete a short questionnaire to start, then schedule a first session to set goals and plan next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Justine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach examines patterns in thinking and behavior and tests small behavioral experiments to shift unhelpful routines and build new habits. This kind of work helps with low motivation, self-esteem, and day-to-day choices.

Another approach focuses on processing loss and grief in ways that reduce overwhelm and restore predictable daily activities. This method helps people notice what feels most urgent and make stepwise plans for managing emotions and responsibilities after a loss.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that suit the situation. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing commute time.
