About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Harris is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. He brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and integrates evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills and create clearer goals.
Background and approach
Josh combines a respectful, nonjudgmental stance with a background in ministry and faith-informed counseling for those who wish to include spiritual concerns in their work. In session he aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly.
His approach emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping strategies, and pursue meaningful changes. Josh also addresses issues such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, men's issues, and process addictions including problematic pornography, exercise, and gambling.
He welcomes motivated clients ready to take steps toward better emotional balance and clearer direction.
Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change
Joshua blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address patterns that contribute to distress. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing behavioral experiments to change routines that maintain anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity to difficult feelings and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with clients to choose techniques that match their needs and goals, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most helpful. That collaborative process helps prioritize concrete steps and personal values as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Through these remote formats, licensed professionals can deliver structured CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused planning in ways that fit daily life and promote steady progress.
