About Joshua
Joshua Cook is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.
Background and approach
He approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and that tapping into existing strengths supports meaningful change. Joshua encourages clients to take the courageous step toward a more satisfying life and offers steady support through that process.
He earned a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University with a double major in Psychology and Economics, then completed a master’s degree in general psychology at Sam Houston State University and pursued post-graduate counseling studies at Liberty University.
Over four years in the field, Joshua has worked as a Mobile Crisis Outreach Coordinator, trained teachers in Mental Health First Aid, supported people on probation and parole as a counseling associate and case manager, and volunteered in a Crisis Stabilization Unit facilitating psychoeducation groups.
He also provided telehealth counseling at a independent practice, working with couples, children, teens, and individuals. Joshua integrates evidence-based approaches such as CBT alongside client-centered, DBT, existential, and mindfulness-informed techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Joshua often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. He also draws from client-centered therapy, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client's perspective and personal strengths to guide progress. Additionally, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills may be employed to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are relevant to a client's goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and daily realities, then adjust techniques and pacing so the work fits the client's needs. This shared planning helps shape a treatment path that feels practical and meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access support from home or other locations within Texas. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to these formats so clients receive consistent care in ways that suit them best.
