Therapeutic approaches and online care
Joshua commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and problems with avoidance.He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors. CBT is often used for mood concerns, anger, and anxiety because it focuses on concrete skills and measurable changes.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Joshua works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from a distance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or video use is an issue. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
