Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Guidance
Joshua often draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person's experience so therapy is guided by the client's priorities and values. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, or life transitions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and builds skills to manage stress, anxiety, and behavior. CBT is useful for people seeking concrete tools to address symptoms and change routines that create distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joshua works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with licensed professionals and therapists. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow sessions to fit work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic limitations, making it easier to maintain consistency and access support from wherever someone is located.
