About Joseph
Joseph Setchel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 21 years in the mental health field. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and other life challenges. He offers straightforward help aimed at clearer thinking and better daily coping.
Joseph uses plain language and practical steps so people can start feeling more in control. Joseph earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stetson University and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida.
Background and approach
He completed a two-year post-Masters internship and received his counseling license in 2007. His credentials include LMHC and LCMHC in Florida and New Hampshire respectively. Therapy with Joseph is collaborative and shaped to the person in front of him.
He often draws from client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions may combine elements from Existential, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused approaches when that mix serves the client's goals.
The emphasis is on practical changes: new coping strategies, clearer decisions, and increased insight. Joseph values choice, authenticity, honesty, and cultural awareness in his work. People who reach out can expect a direct but respectful style that aims to make therapy productive.
He helps clients build tools for daily life, whether the concerns are relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, addiction, ADHD, sleep problems, or career uncertainty.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a safe space to sort values, feelings, and choices without a directive agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. That collaboration guides which approaches are used and how sessions are structured over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief coping reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily life while keeping the focus on real progress and practical tools.
