About Joshua

Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and career-related stress. Joshua values the courage it takes to ask for help and treats that step with respect.

His style is client-centered and collaborative. He listens without judgment and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings to handle daily challenges.

Joshua draws from several approaches. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help manage intense emotions and build coping tools.

He has four years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential. Joshua works with concerns such as abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, substance addiction, family of origin issues, fatherhood challenges, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, and loneliness.

Joshua aims to create a supportive space where people can try new ways of coping and move toward meaningful change. He emphasizes practical strategies, steady progress, and collaboration on goals.

How his approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, low self esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. These techniques work well for depression, anxiety, and stress management. Mindfulness-based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment focus, which can help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone keep therapy in their routine during moves or schedule changes. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and any practical details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
