Background and approach
He also addresses grief, intimacy-related struggles, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, bipolar management, and ADHD-related challenges. In practice he combines several well-established methods to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to shape conversations around a person’s goals. Josh brings nine years of clinical experience to his work in Washington.
He aims to create a space where people feel heard and can try new strategies between sessions. His focus is on collaboration, practical tools, and steady progress. People beginning therapy with Josh typically start by describing current struggles and short-term goals.
From there he and the client plan a path forward that fits their day-to-day life and long-term hopes.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; online sessions can use exercises and homework to practice those steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors, often using worksheets and short exercises that are easy to share during video or chat sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist offering empathic listening and gentle guidance to help clients find their own solutions.Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they can try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversation and visual exercises, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in during a busy day or to get short, focused support between longer appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
