How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Joshua uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as core tools in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them, even when hard emotions are present.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joshua treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out what fits best based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques so they match each person’s pace and readiness for change.
