About Joseph
Joseph Hansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Montana with eight years of experience in mental health. He helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those struggling with self-esteem, career concerns, motivation, and big life changes. Joseph takes a straightforward, respectful approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
He listens first and then offers practical tools tailored to the problem at hand.
Background and approach
Those tools draw from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based strategies to address worrying thoughts, panic, and day-to-day stress. He also uses relational approaches to help people improve communication and rebuild trust after infidelity or separation. Joseph’s background includes a long career in the United States Air Force, where he worked in Security Forces and as a Readiness NCO.
That experience shaped his focus on resilience, routine, and clear problem-solving. He also serves as president of a local recovery organization, which informs his understanding of addiction and recovery challenges. In sessions, Joseph aims to create a calm, direct space for people to talk through goals and setbacks.
He blends practical coaching with therapeutic work so clients leave with concrete next steps. His style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to emotions and real-life demands. People often seek him out for workplace stress, first responder issues, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and struggles with isolation or guilt.
He offers virtual support and works with adults who want clear strategies and steady guidance.
Approaches for online work and everyday challenges
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people reduce the hold of anxious or self-critical thoughts and move toward goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation when feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss options, and adjust methods as goals evolve. Together the client and therapist decide which tools to use and how they fit daily life and personal priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between sessions or to get support when writing feels clearer than speaking.
