Background and approach
Joshua uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns of thinking and ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help clients act in line with personal values. He also keeps a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's own experience and pace. Together these approaches help with mood problems, anger, and relationship concerns like attachment or communication struggles.
Practical matters are considered from the start. He understands therapy must fit into work and family schedules, and offers multiple online formats to make that easier. Joshua helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust the plan when life changes.
He is licensed in South Carolina as an LPC and provides services in English. Joshua accepts international clients and aims to create a steady, approachable space where people can address anxiety, addiction, depression, and related concerns.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Joshua often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. That approach can be helpful for persistent anxiety, panic, and struggles with motivation.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT supports work on phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, and patterns that feed depression or anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides changes to techniques and focus.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and text or live chat can serve as shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue working toward goals from different locations.
