About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of experience. He focuses on practical steps that help people feel less overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. Joshua aims to highlight each person's strengths and build on what already works for them.
He uses straightforward, solution-focused work rather than dwelling on why problems began. Sessions move toward doable changes and clearer next steps. Joshua helps people notice what gets in the way and try small experiments to test new habits.
Background and approach
His background includes a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. He also supports people facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating struggles, and career or life transitions. He offers support for more specific concerns like attachment issues, ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Joshua draws from several clinical approaches to tailor sessions to each person. He blends tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-focused methods with client-centered listening. Emotion regulation and skills work are used when helpful to manage strong feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and Joshua works with people in California as well as international clients. He aims to make therapy practical and approachable so people can use what they learn between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them and focuses on taking actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. That collaborative process helps decide whether acceptance strategies, cognitive skills, or simple client-centered support best fit the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or use brief coaching and reminders. These options make it simpler to maintain momentum while learning new skills and trying small experiments in daily life.
