About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and symptoms associated with ADHD.
Background and approach
He frames therapy around the client’s own experience, helping them identify practical strategies and new ways of thinking that reduce unhelpful patterns and build on existing strengths. With eight years of clinical involvement, Josh combines structured skill work with an empathetic, collaborative stance to tailor plans to each person’s concerns.
Josh emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and that therapy is a partnership aimed at uncovering resilience and workable solutions. His background includes supporting individuals facing impulsivity, mood disturbances, post-traumatic stress, and grief, using evidence-informed tools drawn from CBT, DBT, narrative approaches, and mindfulness.
He encourages reaching out despite the difficulty of beginning therapy and aims to make the intake process straightforward for those ready to explore change.
Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care
Joshua often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, providing a supportive, empathetic environment that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal strengths to guide the work. When emotional regulation or intense distress is present, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available to teach practical skills in distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a fixed decision at the start. Josh collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make regular work on goals more practical. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from their own locations within Wyoming, and choose the format that feels most accessible for working through stress, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD-related challenges, or mood symptoms.
