About Joshua

Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who works with people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strains, trauma and related concerns. He approaches each person with respect for the choice to pursue therapy and emphasizes collaboration and support as central to the work.

Background and approach

Joshua encourages clients to view themselves as experts in their own lives while offering tools and perspective to foster meaningful change. His style is client-centered and nonjudgmental, integrating practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside techniques drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness.

Joshua combines evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on values, present-moment skills, and behavioral change to address symptoms and the patterns that contribute to them. With four years of clinical experience, he aims to create a steady, goal-oriented process that respects each person’s pace and priorities.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Joshua blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with client-centered principles to address symptoms and life patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns, while ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult emotions rather than avoid them. These approaches can help with mood symptoms, stress, relationship patterns, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Joshua works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time and inviting feedback so treatment remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or other locations, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor interventions to individual goals.
