Professional statement

Justin Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to empowering individuals across the lifespan to achieve emotional wellness and resilience. Based in Salt Lake City, Justin offers virtual therapy services to clients throughout Utah, providing convenient and accessible support. His clients often come to treatment feeling stuck, their thoughts racing, hopeless, and like they don’t know how to move forward. Justin works collaboratively with his clients to clearly define concerns, challenge thoughts and beliefs about self, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Justin utilizes evidenced based practices like Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help his clients identify judgments about themselves, others, and the world. Many of his clients are navigating overwhelming bouts of stress, anxiety, depression and constantly grapple with feelings of self doubt that negatively impact their daily lives. He works with clients to better identify strengths, develop self-worth, and move forward with a positive outlook.

Justin prioritizes a safe place where his clients can explore the depths of their anxiety and depression. Having a history working with individuals with diverse backgrounds, his approach is both culturally appropriate and trauma informed. He recognizes that his clients have unique and specific needs, and should have unique and specific solutions.

Understanding that many of his clients feel shackled by what their lives have become, Justin is committed to helping them understand that they can find guidance and freedom working with a professional. In addition to the convenience of offering sessions remotely, he maintains a flexible schedule that offers session times in the evening and on weekends.


Message to clients

Will I ever be my old self? It feels like there's a piece of you missing. Like you're broken inside. Is there any way forward for me? You desperately want to move on with your life, but it feels impossible. I just want to run away. When you see yourself in the mirror, you're ashamed of the person looking back. You wonder if you should just drop everything and start a new life. Why can't I be the real me? You wish you could stop caring about what others think of you. You try your best to build a confidence facade, but you're sure everyone can see right through it.

Will I ever be happy again? YES. It's time to make a change and leave behind the life that has made you so unhappy. Take the risk you've been avoiding and re-discover your joyful, confident self. Counseling can help you decide who you want to be and how you want to feel. As an experienced, licensed therapist, I can help you identify the habits and patterns holding you back. Each person has unique needs, so my approach is not one size fits all. We will work collaboratively to determine what's best for you. Let's do this together. You might be reluctant to take the first step. Taking that first step is the bold decision that will allow you to make positive changes in your life. Break free from the same old patterns.
