We spend so much of our lives confused with which path to take. Feeling unsure of our past, present, and future choices is something that we can all relate to. There are distractions in every flavor and color, clouding our ability to see things clearly. This can lead us to feel depressed, fearful, and angry. Counseling offers a unique opportunity to gain perspective and learn the skills that can help us blaze our own path. Too often we feel like we’re in the back seat, like anyone but us have their hands on our wheel. Through the therapeutic process, we can regain control and reclaim our place as the author of our own stories.
During my time at the University of Central Oklahoma I was trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. During my time at UCO I also worked at a children’s and adult crisis unit where I learned the importance of forming meaningful therapeutic relationships in someone’s time of need. Harmonizing theory and relationship building is only one of my tasks as a counselor. We will cover concepts such as cross-generational trauma, existential meaning, the connection between thought, feeling, and behavior, and more. Through our work in counseling, you will have the opportunity to understand your place in your system, what that means, and how to live the best life possible. Finding a quiet mind in the storm. I feel comfortable working with all ages, gender expressions, sexual orientations, religions, and problems. I look forward to meeting you where you are and helping you get to where you want to be.

Justin has honestly been great for me. He’s helped me open up so much. I don’t think I’ve ever opened up to anyone as much as I’ve opened up to him. He truly is a phenomenal therapist and anyone would be lucky to have him

I have been visiting with Justin for almost a year. He’s helping me navigate a very rough and trying period in my life. He is very encouraging and supportive no matter the circumstances I’m faced with.

Justin is very attentive and thoughtful. His listening skills are great and his ability to explain my emotional stressors logically is so helpful! I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a good therapist.

I can’t say enough good things about Justin and the impact he’s had on my mental health and well being in such a short time. He’s not only a great therapist, but he’s honestly just become one of my favorite people. He genuinely wants to help you to get the most out of your life experiences. He doesn’t talk to you like you’re a client, he talks to you like you’re a human being. He also truly listens and hears what you’re saying. I always tell people he’s like having a completely unbiased friend in your corner and you know he cares. I would absolutely recommend Justin to anyone for anything they’re going through.

I am still in the midst of my therapy, but I can say definitively that my life is markedly better for having known Justin. I was profoundly depressed when I decided, on a bit of a whim, to reach out to Betterhelp. Because of my financial situation, I didn't think there would be any therapist willing to see me. When Justin messaged me, I was so surprised! This has been one of the best therapeutic experiences I've ever had. It's been so long since I've had hope, so when I started waking up with a different emotion, I was puzzled as to what it was I was feeling: hope. I have hope again.
I still have a ways to go, but I know I'm in good hands. I would urge anyone who is struggling, or who wants to make a positive change in their life, to contact Betterhelp and get the ball rolling. Justin is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and is ready to help his clients find peace and contentment. I highly recommend Betterhelp and Justin Gibbons.
