Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Joshua
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and build actions that align with what matters most, even while uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and adapting to life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current connections. This approach can be useful for relationship challenges, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support as clients find their own solutions. This style supports self-esteem, emotional processing, grief work, and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the work Joshua does with each person. He collaborates with clients to identify which techniques and frames fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
