Justine Harris-Brown, MD, LCPC

Justine Harris-Brown is a licensed therapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, divorce and separation, panic attacks, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation.

She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. Clients can expect focused conversations that identify what matters most to them. She emphasizes small, doable steps to reduce distress and build confidence.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods, along with dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices when useful. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new skills, and use mindful awareness to manage intense emotions.

Justine describes her style as warm and direct. She listens closely and then suggests techniques people can try between sessions. Homework often looks like brief exercises to test new ways of coping in everyday life.

She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, with nine years of clinical experience. Justine practices in Maryland and conducts sessions in English. She aims to meet people where they are and adapt methods to fit each person’s goals and pace.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping

CBT helps people identify and change thought patterns that keep problems going. It breaks big problems into smaller steps and gives simple exercises to practice between sessions, which can ease anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. DBT adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving emotional balance when stress or relationship conflict feels overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try specific techniques to see what works best. That means methods can be adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are useful for conversations that need visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill coaching, or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working on concrete coping skills.
