About Joseph
Joseph Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and mood disorders. He also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, sleep or eating disturbances, and workplace or caregiver strain.
He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Much of his work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.
Background and approach
He also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness tools to build coping skills and emotional regulation. Joseph aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He identifies as a Christian and keeps his practice consistent with a Christian worldview, while offering therapy to people from many backgrounds.
He describes change as difficult and is patient with clients as they work toward their goals. Expect a collaborative tone in sessions. The therapist asks questions, offers exercises, and helps clients practice new ways of responding to strong feelings like anger or panic.
He reminds clients that they will do most of the work, and he will support and encourage them along the way. Joseph accepts video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are structured to fit the client’s needs and daily life, with scheduling and subscription details handled during sign-up.

Combining evidence-based approaches with online convenience
Joseph often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday problems. He also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies that focus on managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building interpersonal skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs and goals, then tailor techniques from CBT or DBT and add mindfulness practices as needed. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist pick tools that fit the person’s life and values.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
