Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where finding direction and purpose is a priority.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports growth through active listening and validation. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving interpersonal connection.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joshua works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He integrates techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Joshua is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or while traveling, fit sessions into work and family life, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
