His credentials include LCMHC and LPC, and he practices from Virginia.

He also supports people facing issues like infidelity, divorce, process addictions, and coping with life changes.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Joe commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions to change patterns of thinking and behavior.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships. DBT techniques teach concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joe collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan as needed so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions give flexibility for people with busy lives or travel constraints. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for exercises, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching moments, or practicing skills between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy into real routines and keep progress moving forward.
