Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Justin Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping individuals across the lifespan build emotional wellness, resilience, and meaningful change. Based in Salt Lake City, Justin provides virtual therapy to clients throughout Utah and New Jersey, offering accessible, convenient care. Many clients begin therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed by racing thoughts, weighed down by hopelessness, and unsure how to move forward. Justin partners closely with his clients to clarify concerns, examine unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about themselves, and regain a sense of confidence and direction.
Justin integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help clients recognize and challenge judgments about themselves, others, and the world around them. Many of the individuals he works with experience intense stress, anxiety, depression, and persistent self-doubt that interferes with daily life. Through therapy, Justin supports clients in identifying their strengths, rebuilding self-worth, and moving ahead with a more balanced and hopeful perspective.
Creating a safe, supportive space is central to Justin’s work, allowing clients to explore anxiety and depression without judgment. With experience serving individuals from diverse backgrounds, his approach is both trauma-informed and culturally responsive. Justin understands that each client’s experiences are unique and believes their care should reflect individualized, thoughtful solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Justin understands that many clients feel constrained by the direction their lives have taken. He is committed to helping them gain clarity and a greater sense of freedom through professional support. In addition to the convenience of telehealth, he provides a flexible schedule with evening and weekend appointments to better accommodate his clients’ needs.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in the "success" of therapy. Meeting online gives us the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship no matter where you live or what your preference is about how to meet. I work with both individuals and couples. Some of the issues I help with are depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, trust and communication. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink and poly friendly.

Allyson Eggleton with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
Online therapy with me is collaborative, attuned, and grounded in understanding your process in real time. I tend to slow things down and track patterns across thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships, helping you make sense of what’s happening rather than just pushing toward quick fixes. I balance validation with gentle challenge, integrating evidence-based skills when useful while staying connected to the deeper emotional experience underneath. Sessions are paced to you, but with a steady focus on helping you build awareness, increase flexibility in how you respond, and make meaningful, sustainable changes outside of session.

Sarah Neal with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
“Just because no one can heal or do the inner work for you doesn’t mean you need to do it alone.” I believe we all have the strength to heal and do our inner work alone, but I don't believe that we have to. As humans, we are built to want and need love, care, and support. Coming to therapy is a huge step and proof of the strength you have to continue on this journey we call life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or something else, we will work to find what you need, what works best for you, and where you want to go step by step.
My virtual sessions are designed to be a seamless extension of your support system, combining the professional depth of an in-office visit with the ease of a modern digital interface. I work to continually be curious, non-judgmental, and open to understanding who you are and what you need through creating an intentional, focused atmosphere where genuine human connection is formed and a safe space is created for you.
I work to help my clients build confidence and resilience in taking their lives back from emotions and experiences that feel debilitating. We will get you there by understanding your story, identifying ways to manage, and processing your challenges and difficulties. I’m honored to go on this journey with you and excited to see the growth that comes!

Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
As a helper and caregiver, you’re used to being the expert, the fixer, and the emotional anchor for everyone else. But carrying that weight comes with a specific kind of exhaustion. Maybe you are dealing with burnout that "self-care" can’t fix, or perhaps you’re realizing that the very drive that made you successful is now making it impossible to turn your brain off.
You don’t need someone to just nod and ask how that makes you feel. You need a therapist who understands the nuances of professional burnout, the burden of leadership, and the complexity of maintaining a high-functioning public persona while feeling depleted behind the scenes.
My approach is direct and no-nonsense. We aren't going to spend weeks circling the drain; we’re going to identify the patterns that are stalling you and get to work. I provide a confidential, intellectually rigorous space where you can stop performing and start processing.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
