About Joshua
Joshua Martin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who uses a straightforward, person-focused approach. He centers sessions on helping people make sense of stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and career concerns. Joshua aims to create a space where clients can speak honestly and work toward realistic goals.
He draws on Existential therapy to help people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. That approach pairs with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, actions, and values in practical ways.
Background and approach
Joshua also uses Client-Centered methods to keep the relationship warm and respectful and Motivational Interviewing to support change when habits feel stuck. Over seven years of practice, he has helped people cope with panic, phobias, social anxiety, loneliness, and feelings of guilt or shame.
He also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, abandonment, communication breakdowns, control struggles, and the fallout of separation and divorce. Career uncertainty and questions about life purpose are common topics in his work. Sessions focus on clear steps and honest conversation rather than jargon.
Joshua works with each person to set goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust plans as progress occurs. He recognizes that life gets busy and aims to offer flexible ways to fit therapy into a schedule. People who prefer a respectful, practical, and thoughtful ally for hard conversations may find his style helpful.
He accepts clients from South Carolina and internationally and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Joshua blends Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered work in online sessions. Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choices, and what matters most, which can be useful for career questions, life purpose, or feelings of isolation. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that reflect personal values, a practical fit for anxiety, depression, and addiction struggles. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and safe to try new ways of coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, and adjustments are made over time based on goals and feedback. This keeps therapy responsive to changing needs.
Online care is offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit therapy into a busy life.
