About Joseph

Joseph Myrick is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Washington who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, family challenges, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 19 years of clinical experience, he draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and pursue clearer goals. He approaches common concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and process or substance-related addictions with attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term problem solving.

Myrick centers the person’s perspective in work together, emphasizing individual strengths and the client’s expertise in their own story. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational strategies and solution-focused techniques to create pragmatic, goal-oriented plans.

Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and support gradual change while honoring each client’s pace and priorities. He offers services in English and practices under the WA LICSW LW60796339 license.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Joseph Myrick frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach focuses on skills and strategies that can reduce anxiety, depression, and maladaptive habits. He also employs Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, using collaborative conversation to strengthen motivation and clarify values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes reviewing progress and adjusting techniques so treatment feels relevant and achievable for each person.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from home or work, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Together these options aim to make evidence-informed, goal-oriented therapy more accessible to a range of clients.
