About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, person-focused therapy. He emphasizes listening first and works to make therapy feel straightforward and useful for people juggling family life and parenting concerns.
Josh encourages clients to view themselves as the expert on their own story. Sessions aim to build on strengths and develop clear tools for daily life. He often helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges, and addresses related issues such as impulsivity, mood concerns, attention differences, and post-traumatic stress.
His background includes eight years of experience in the field and a practice based in Wyoming. Josh uses therapy methods that center the person and teach skills, including cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and narrative approaches to make sense of difficult experiences.
In sessions he focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings. That might mean testing a small change, practicing a new coping skill, or retelling a hard memory differently to reduce its hold. He aims for clear, manageable goals rather than long lectures.
Josh recognizes taking the first step can feel hard. He invites people who are ready to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The process is meant to match needs with therapist availability and help people begin straightforward, goal-focused work.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique story, making the work practical and tailored. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches hands-on strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes skill-building in areas like emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-based strategy for anxiety, then shifting to a narrative way of making sense of loss if that fits better.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice new skills between meetings in real-life settings. Speak with the therapist after the matching step to learn which session formats are available and how they can work with your daily routine.
