About Joshua
Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship struggles. He responds calmly to anger, trauma, and life changes. Joshua respects the choice to seek help and treats that step with care.
His approach is straightforward and collaborative. He listens without judgment and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Joshua uses practical tools to reduce distress and build coping skills rather than relying on jargon or labels.
Background and approach
Joshua draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Mindfulness practices and dialetical behavior strategies are offered to manage intense emotions and improve focus.
Sessions usually focus on immediate problems and workable strategies. Joshua aims to teach skills you can use between meetings, such as thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and grounding exercises. He blends short-term problem solving with longer term work when needed.
Joshua has four years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential. He works with people struggling with family of origin issues, communication and commitment concerns, addiction and relapse, fatherhood questions, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. He offers a calm presence and practical guidance to help people move forward.
Flexible approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress in the moment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will discuss goals and preferences and adjust techniques together. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the person seeking help.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging work well for ongoing coaching, quick skill practice, or people who prefer writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and access support from wherever the client is located.
