About Joshua
Joshua Cook, LPC, focuses on helping people who are juggling parenting, stress, and mood concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable. He says people bring strengths and stories that matter, and he offers steady support through change and recovery.
He uses practical, talk-based methods to address anxiety, depression, anger, sleep trouble, and substance use. Sessions often include goal-setting, problem-solving, and skills practice so clients can try new approaches between meetings. Joshua emphasizes collaboration and treats clients as partners in deciding what comes next.
Joshua trained at Texas A&M University, earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology and economics, then completed a master’s degree in general psychology at Sam Houston State University. He also pursued post-graduate counseling studies at Liberty University. These programs shaped his interest in combining evidence-based tools with a person-centered stance.
His early work includes roles as a Mobile Crisis Outreach Coordinator and training public school staff in Mental Health First Aid. He has provided counseling support on probation and parole as a counseling associate and case manager. He volunteered in a psychiatric hospital facilitating groups on relapse prevention and social support.
In private-practice settings he has provided telehealth counseling to couples, children, teens, and individuals. He brings four years of professional experience and a straightforward, steady manner to sessions.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for parenting stress and self-esteem work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Skills like emotion regulation and distress tolerance can help when anger or intense mood swings make daily life hard.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and goals.
