Joseph Frey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. He brings a practical, goal-oriented style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and self esteem concerns. He blends trauma work with solution-focused coaching to help people regain steady footing in daily life.
Frey draws on a varied background that includes military service, corporate leadership, and running his own business. That mix informs a direct but collaborative approach in session. He aims to help people identify unhelpful inner dialogue and develop concrete steps toward change.
In practice he uses trauma-focused methods alongside narrative and solution-focused techniques. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is part of his toolkit when addressing disturbing memories or post-traumatic stress. Sessions often include discussion of how thoughts, behaviors, and physical sensations connect to one another.
People bring a wide range of issues to his work, including relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, mood concerns, and career difficulties. He also addresses attachment, abandonment, dissociation, eating and food-related problems, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise issues.
Frey has ten years of documented experience as a therapist and a longer overall career across other fields. He communicates plainly and focuses on clear goals and measurable steps. Outside of work he enjoys technology, sports, working out, and video games.
How EMDR and Solution-Focused Work Translate to Online Therapy
EMDR uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is commonly used for trauma and post-traumatic stress and can help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. It helps separate the person from the problem so new meanings and healthier patterns can emerge. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and building on existing strengths to reach specific goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a trauma-focused method like EMDR for certain memories, and using solution-focused techniques to address day-to-day coping and planning.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life, for example by reducing commute time or making shorter check-ins possible during a workday. Therapists can adapt EMDR, narrative, and solution-focused tools to remote settings, and will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule.
