Joel Britton, LMFT

Joel Britton is a U.S. military veteran and trained counselor who blends pastoral experience with evidence-based clinical methods to support individuals, couples, and families. He served as a chaplain during a lengthy military career, where he developed extensive experience in counseling within diverse group and family systems and responding to crisis situations. Drawing on that background, he offers faith-informed Christian counseling while also working with people who identify as nonreligious, integrating spiritual perspectives when appropriate.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - Joel brings formal training in relationship dynamics, trauma work, and resilience building. He focuses on marriage counseling, crisis intervention, trauma and PTSD, stress management, spiritual core development, resilience coaching, and issues specific to military and veteran populations. He also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, communication difficulties, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife transitions, social anxiety, and workplace challenges.

Joel uses a range of proven approaches tailored to each client, including the Gottman Method for couples, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, as well as Dr. Snyder’s Getting Past the Affair model when relevant. He aims to establish an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and pursue practical steps toward healing and improved relationships.
