More about Joshua

- LCSW
A lot of people, especially men, don't end up in a therapist's office until things have gotten pretty bad. Work stress, relationship strain, persistent anxiety, or a growing sense that something needs to change. I work primarily with men and college-age adults who are ready to understand what's driving their patterns and do something about it. My approach is direct and practical. We dig into what's really going on and build strategies that hold up in real life. If that sounds like what you're looking for, let's talk.
Most of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, or stress that builds quietly until it's hard to ignore. I draw from CBT, ACT, and IFS, choosing what fits you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Every client is the expert on their own life. My job is to help you make sense of it and move forward.
Taking the first step is the hardest part, and it makes sense to be skeptical about whether therapy will actually help. If you've been carrying something for a while and wondering if it's time to talk to someone, that wondering is worth honoring. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
