About Joseph
Joseph Setchel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He brings 21 years of experience and practical, down-to-earth guidance to each session. Joseph sees therapy as a tailored process.
He listens first, then works with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals. Sessions aim to give clearer thinking, better coping skills, and improved decision-making. His training includes a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida and an earlier Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Stetson University.
Background and approach
He completed a two-year post-master's internship and received his mental health counseling license in 2007. He holds the credentials LMHC and LCMHC and practices in Florida. In sessions he blends methods rather than using just one.
Cognitive Behavioral tools can help change unhelpful thinking. Existential and psychodynamic ideas can help uncover what matters most and long-standing patterns. He also uses solution-focused work to build practical steps forward.
Joseph values choice, honesty, cultural awareness, and authenticity. He works in English and does not currently take international clients. He offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
How Joseph’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most in therapy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It provides clear tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.
Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, choices, and priorities when life feels uncertain. It can be useful for coping with life changes, grief, and questions about direction.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way so sessions stay practical and focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face interaction while phone can be a good option when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and quick skill practice easier between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
