Joshua Elledge, LPC

Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship trouble, trauma, and major life changes. He recognizes that seeking therapy takes courage and meets clients with a respectful, nonjudgmental attitude.

His approach is collaborative and client-centered. He treats each person as the expert on their life and works side by side to set goals and find practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear strategies people can use between meetings as well as understanding what drives patterns of behavior.

Joshua uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness approaches. He draws on these methods to help with symptoms like worry, low mood, impulsivity, and struggles with substance use. The work often includes skill practice, values clarification, and changing unhelpful habits.

He also pays attention to relationship dynamics, family of origin issues, communication problems, and concerns such as codependency, commitment worries, and challenges around fatherhood. Joshua aims to create steady, manageable plans when life feels overwhelming.

Clients can expect steady feedback and a supportive tone in sessions. Joshua emphasizes practical tools, small experiments, and learning how to respond differently to familiar triggers. He encourages people to try new approaches and notice what helps in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, committed steps toward those values while allowing difficult thoughts and feelings to be present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from old patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is commonly used for worry, low mood, and habitual reactions such as impulsivity or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Joshua works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, and he adjusts strategies as needed based on what works in day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can focus more on the work itself. Licensed professionals and therapists often use online visits to practice skills, review between-session assignments, and keep steady progress without needing to be in the same place.
