More about Joshua

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the great state of Texas with over five years in the field of mental health. I work with clients with a diverse set of challenges including depression, anger, anxiety, relationships, Men’s challenges, failure to launch, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and addiction, and career/workplace stress and challenges.

My counseling approach is person-centered and focuses on the strengths that you will bring to the session to resolve your problems. I am action oriented, and I believe that you are capable of making changes happen in your life. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused methodologies in my practice, depending on what your needs are.

It isn’t always easy to believe that you are capable of changing for the better, but it can be done.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
