I currently specialize in relationship counseling not limited to intimate relationships, but also everyday interactions i.e. working, organizational, non-traditional, casual, mutually beneficial, and structural. I am able to assist with communication which is a common underlying issue within relationship dysfunction. Whether a relationship exists in a professional or private setting, I am competent in adjusting a persons understanding of the situation to bring out the best outcome. I have lived in over 7 areas of the world and am open minded. The preferred methodologies for my treatment consist of but are not limited to Gestalt Therapy, Autogenic Training, CBT, Existential Therapy, and Grief Counseling.
My strengths lie in understanding, compassion, and experience. I am able to channel superior levels of comprehension in the following areas:
Abandonment
Depression
Jealousy
Lack of Trust
Anger Management
Insecurity
Relationship Strain
Everyday Challenges
Forgiveness
I am a firm believer in meeting the client where they are. I have worked with veterans for over 10 years. I have experience with newlyweds and those wishing to maintain a healthy relationship. I believe that every relationship is different and that they are constantly evolving over time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great help
I've had several therapists in my life and Joseph is among the best. He's helping me through a truly traumatic experience, focusing on what I can control and managing my expectations. He's a wonderful human being.
I was very unsure and nervous about starting therapy. I was afraid of feeling judged and just I really foolish about what I was feeling but I knew I needed help. Mr. Barnes was a solid rock helping me navigate my issues and emotions. I felts listened to and respected. I don't think I would be where I am today without his support and help. This experience has been better than I could have hoped. I would recommend Mr. Barnes without hesitation.
Joseph has an uncanny ability to provide real insight into people’s lives. I’ve been meeting with him just two weeks now and the advice he has given me has dramatically improved my overall satisfaction with my professional life.
