About Joseph
Joseph Setchel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than two decades of experience offering practical, person-focused care.
Background and approach
He centers his work on each individual's priorities and tailors interventions to fit what the client needs most, drawing on a blend of therapeutic methods to promote clearer thinking, improved coping, and better decision-making.
Setchel trained in psychology and clinical practice, earning a bachelor's degree from Stetson University and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida. He completed a two-year post-master's internship and received his LMHC and LCMHC licensure in 2007.
Over the years he has applied cognitive and reflective approaches, emphasizing choice, authenticity, cultural awareness, and genuine regard for the person in front of him. In sessions he commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thought patterns while incorporating existential and solution-focused elements when they better suit a client's goals.
He aims to make therapy a productive process that leads to greater insight, more effective coping strategies, and practical changes that support daily life.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for pinpointing and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns; CBT focuses on practical strategies to change thoughts and behaviors and is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own insights and choices, helping with self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, values, and responsibility to support clarity and renewed purpose when people face major life changes or feelings of emptiness.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joseph collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He often blends techniques so the work remains practical and responsive, inviting clients to shape the focus and pace of sessions together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support when life gets busy.
