01About Joshua
Joshua Tidwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. He speaks plainly and offers practical support for depression and family-related struggles. He works with clients in Colorado and with people outside the U.S. through online sessions.
Joshua brings eight years of clinical experience drawn from independent practice and intensive behavioral health settings. He has worked with children ages 10 and up, adolescents, and adults, and has supported people dealing with trauma, burnout, and emotional regulation difficulties.
Background and approach
His background includes work in Trauma Systems Therapy environments where complex emotional and behavioral concerns were addressed. His style is collaborative and trauma-informed. Sessions focus on understanding your situation, building on strengths, and learning skills that make daily life easier.
Joshua aims for straightforward tools you can use between appointments rather than long, abstract talk. He also helps with issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, communication problems, and fatherhood concerns. Other areas he supports include body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and gender dysphoria.
Joshua uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques matched to each person’s needs. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Joshua uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill building for emotional regulation and stress management - clients learn specific breathing, grounding, and thought-reframing exercises to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past hurts affect current reactions and slowly develops strategies to manage triggers and recover a sense of safety and control.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Joshua will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then adapt techniques that match those needs. The plan can change as progress is made, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and working through exercises together. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, momentary support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options let people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family days and keep continuity even when schedules shift.
