About Justin

Dr. Justin Panneck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and struggles with self-esteem. He brings a direct, approachable style and blends coaching with therapeutic work to help clients get unstuck and aim for clearer daily functioning. His background mixes clinical counseling, coaching, and experiential approaches aimed at practical change.

He spent six years practicing nature-based therapy on a 70-acre farm in Canby, Oregon. There he used hands-on outdoor activities such as forest archery, shelter and fire building, guided mushroom foraging, and nature art as part of the work. For the past four years he has seen clients in private practice, combining those earlier experiences with more traditional counseling methods.

His training includes a Master’s in Counseling, a Master’s in Education, and a PhD in health psychology. The doctoral work looked at coping strategies for daily stress and the psychological effects of certain plant medicines. He has also collaborated with medical teams as a behavioral health consultant, bringing motivational interviewing and nutritional education into clinical settings.

Therapy sessions may include goal-focused coaching, mindfulness and somatic techniques, dream work, and narrative methods. He also offers preparation and integration support for clients who choose to work with entheogenic plant medicines independently. He draws on ideas from peak performance and flow-state practices to help clients rebuild healthier routines.

Dr. Panneck works from Oregon and offers services in English. He has spent time speaking at universities and professional groups on topics such as consciousness, shamanism, and alternative healing approaches.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life-direction issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own problem-solving and growth. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional impact, often paired with preparation and integration work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try different methods to find what fits best. That exploration is part of the early work together rather than a one-time decision.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer alternatives for those who cannot attend in person. Licensed professionals tailor pacing, exercises, and between-session tasks so therapy can work around everyday life.
