About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship or family challenges. He offers direct, solution-focused support aimed at making daily life easier. Joshua works with people on practical steps rather than spending lots of time on how problems started. Sessions emphasize building on strengths and finding clear ways forward.
Joshua brings 17 years of clinical experience to his work. He aims to help clients notice their skills and tap into inner motivation to change. Many clients come with concerns such as trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, or career stress. He also addresses complex presentations like bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and codependency.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In practice this looks like setting small goals, trying new behaviors between sessions, and learning practical tools for mood and stress. Joshua frames therapy as a collaborative process where strategies are matched to what the client wants.
Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and he accepts international clients. Joshua notes that progress depends on a person’s desire to change, and his role is to help awaken and support that drive. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

How Joshua’s Approaches Guide Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It involves clarifying values and practicing small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early attachments influence current connections; it can help people struggling with intimacy, abandonment issues, or relationship pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and experiments, useful for anxiety, mood problems, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients test and choose interventions that match their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques from these approaches into short, actionable plans so clients can try things between sessions and notice what helps.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a longer visit is not possible. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose phone or shorter sessions to fit a work break or reduce bandwidth needs. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and daily life.
