About Joshua
Joshua Mondary is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He brings eight years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach. He works with concerns like relationships, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and addiction.
Joshua emphasizes small, useful steps that fit into a busy life. Joshua believes people know their own story and have strengths to draw on. He listens for what matters most and uses that to shape sessions.
Background and approach
His style is collaborative and goal-focused, not lecture-based. Clients can expect clear suggestions and homework that feel doable between meetings. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment calm. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Joshua also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that affect current choices.
Solution-focused work is used to set concrete short-term goals and track progress. These approaches are mixed to fit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. Sessions are offered through video, phone, chat, and messaging to suit different schedules.
Joshua practices in California and conducts therapy in English. He encourages prospective clients to take the first step and schedule a time to talk about what they want to change.
Approaches that work well online
Joshua often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.He also incorporates mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are brief and translate well to short in-session practice or daily exercises between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joshua works together with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, and ongoing support between sessions.
