About Joshua
He draws on a mix of Existential Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. That means he will look at patterns of thinking and behavior while also addressing questions of meaning and values. Sessions often include clear strategies for managing symptoms and time to talk through personal priorities.
Joshua has worked in ministry and non-profit settings for 15 years, which informs his approach with people in faith roles and community leadership. He has experience supporting teens, children of divorce, and those coping with addiction. That background helps when clients bring vocational stress or moral and relational concerns into therapy.
People can expect a collaborative process that aims for steady, practical change rather than quick fixes. Joshua uses the tools of therapy to help clients set realistic goals, practice new responses, and track progress. He prioritizes finding approaches that fit each person’s life and values.
His education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Union University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University. Joshua is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor and is approved by the National Board for Certified Counselors.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Joshua commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in ways that are easy to explain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills for change, which helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and relapse prevention. Existential Therapy focuses on values, meaning, and life choices, which can help people facing big transitions or questions about purpose. These two approaches are often mixed to address both symptoms and larger life concerns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then test methods to see what fits. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client feel and function better in daily life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for simpler check-ins during a workday. It can also allow someone to use less bandwidth by choosing audio-only options when available, or to schedule around caregiving and work demands. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape how sessions are arranged to match everyday life.
