Background and approach

Joshua has experience facilitating psychoeducation groups in a psychiatric hospital setting, covering relapse prevention and building social supports.

He also provided telehealth counseling in independent practice settings, working with individuals and younger clients. These experiences inform his mixture of skills and everyday strategies.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Joshua combines Existential Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that fit well with online formats. Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and personal values; it helps when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by life decisions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and guiding clients to use their own strengths to find solutions and make changes.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Together these approaches let conversations move between big-picture meaning and very practical skill-building, depending on what a person needs. Joshua discusses options with each client and helps decide which methods to try, working collaboratively on goals and next steps.

Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deep work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief processing between sessions. These formats make it simpler to keep consistent momentum and practice new skills between meetings.
