He has worked with issues related to LGBT concerns, personality disorders, trauma, and severe or persistent mental health challenges. Common areas he addresses include stress, relationship difficulties, substance use concerns, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
He also supports people facing complex concerns such as attachment wounds, body image, codependency, and dissociation. Sessions aim to be collaborative and action-oriented. Joshua helps people set clear goals, practice new skills between meetings, and adjust strategies when needed.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Joshua often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most to them and take small actions aligned with those values. This approach is helpful for persistent anxiety, low mood, and trouble coping with life changes.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many everyday stressors. Mindfulness-based techniques are taught to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which supports emotional regulation and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Joshua will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then collaboratively pick strategies to try. He checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so methods fit each person's life and aims.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, and flexible communication between meetings. These formats make it easier for people in North Carolina to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
