Therapeutic approaches and online care with Joshua
Joshua integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to shape online work that is practical and relational. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and challenges that interfere with daily goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns influence connection and trust, supporting work on intimacy, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for the client's experience, creating a space where strengths and self-direction can emerge.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Joshua collaborates with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so that therapy feels relevant and usable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to work across locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, adapt pacing to the client’s needs, and support progress with convenient, accessible options.
