Background and approach
Joshua draws on several evidence-based approaches. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people make choices that match their values.
Dialectical skills and mindfulness practices help with intense feelings and impulsive behavior. In sessions he aims to be supportive and nonjudgmental. He encourages people to try concrete tools, notice what helps, and adjust plans as needed.
Therapy is a team effort where the client guides the priorities. Joshua has four years of clinical experience and works from Idaho. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Those options let people pick what fits their schedule and comfort. People who reach out typically want straightforward help with coping, improving relationships, reducing substance use, or finding clearer direction after life changes. Joshua focuses on practical skills and steady progress over time.

How Joshua’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change them. It is useful for stress, mood shifts, and unhelpful habits like substance use.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. Mindfulness techniques are often part of DBT and help people notice feelings without getting swept away.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust over time if something isn’t helping. The client’s priorities guide the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging fits people who need ongoing, brief contact. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
