About Joshua

Joshua Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in substance use and related concerns. He greets readers warmly and aims to help people move past problems that are causing pain. He writes directly to those seeking practical help and steady support during difficult times.

He has worked across many treatment settings, including medication-assisted treatment and detox, inpatient and residential programs, psychiatric hospitals, and correctional institutions. He has also provided care through tele-health. This breadth of settings gives him a wide view of how addiction and related issues affect daily life.

Joshua focuses on addictions, relationship difficulties, family concerns, anger, and self-esteem. He also addresses adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control and dependent personality issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood matters, first responder stress, and feelings of guilt and shame.

His approach emphasizes deliberate practice and ongoing professional growth. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match interventions to each person’s situation rather than one fixed method. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping people develop manageable changes.

Joshua practices in Pennsylvania and offers services in English. The site’s Start Therapy button begins the process of matching and scheduling with him.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Joshua uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to address behavior patterns and coping skills. For example, interventions that focus on building concrete skills and changing unhelpful behaviors help with substance use, anger, and relationship patterns by creating step-by-step habits to try between sessions.

He also works with approaches that target emotional regulation and self-esteem, teaching tools to notice triggers and respond differently. These methods can reduce reactive responses and support clearer communication in strained relationships and family roles.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and life situation. That process includes discussing what seems practical and adjusting methods as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific ongoing options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations within their state. Those practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on change.
