About Joshua

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, he centers the work on each person's strengths and lived experience, treating clients as experts in their own stories while offering guidance and tools to move forward.

His practice blends evidence-informed methods according to what fits a client's needs, drawing from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and client-centered work. Joshua emphasizes collaboration, listening first, and adapting strategies to address concerns including parenting stress, attachment issues, control struggles, social anxiety, and mood-related difficulties.

He aims to support people in clarifying values, rebuilding confidence, and navigating practical steps toward the life they want to create.

Approaches That Guide Online Work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn concrete strategies to change behaviors and mood; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning psychological flexibility so clients can act in ways that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist offers empathic listening and collaborative reflection to help clients explore goals and make meaningful changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joshua works together with clients to determine what methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and life context. He adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to attend sessions from varied locations. These formats support ongoing work between meetings and provide multiple ways to connect depending on what feels most comfortable and useful for the client.
