Recent reviews
Joshua has been the most helpful therapist in every way because he genuinely expresses an interest in what is happening with me as a person. He truly listens and asks questions that evoke thoughtful responses. I am sincerely grateful that I was matched to this particular therapist and feel that I have been helped tremendously- in only a few months! The online counseling platform has been convenient because I live in a very rural area. I wish I knew how better to express in words how thankful I am for Joshua, and for all that he has helped me with. Thank you Better Help for making it possible for me to get some help!

Hello! My name is Joshua and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and retired United States Marine. I have a passion for, and experience working with, people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, trauma, and severe and persistent mental illness to name only a few. A person's decision to seek therapy is an act of courage that I both respect and view highly!
My style of therapy is client-centered, collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I view you as the expert in your own life and maintain a firm belief that you, regardless of the challenges and circumstances you may be facing, are capable of lasting and meaningful change! My therapeutic approach encompasses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), spirituality, and internal family systems (IFS).
It undoubtedly takes much courage to seek therapeutic support during life's most challenging moments, but it is in these moments and when those challenges are faced, that the change you seek can be realized!
I look forward to working with you!

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.

He’s been great to work with so far.
I’m really happy to talk to Joshua. Seems like I can go anywhere and talk about anything and he’s a good listener. But also he asks good questions and makes me think.
Joshua is a wonderful counselor. I was genuinely heard & he made sure I knew I was supported in every issue & hard decision I was facing. His calm, reassuring demeanor was very helpful & appreciated as I felt consumed by everything life was throwing at me. He was also very responsive and was a safe place for me to be completely honest in how I was doing. I communicated a couple things that are really important to me to have in therapy and he was completely open & accommodating to them. I highly recommend Joshua!
