About Joye
She has worked in individual, group, couple, and family counseling settings. Her practice commonly addresses relationship concerns, anger, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and challenges related to first responders. Joye also supports people facing substance use, codependency, grief, career stress, and life transitions such as divorce or adoption and foster care issues.
Joye uses straightforward tools in sessions. She and the client set clear goals and then practice techniques like journaling, positive visualization, and communication skills. Her methods draw on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices to help people try different ways of coping.
She believes therapy works best when people actively try the changes they discuss in sessions. Joye will help clients break goals into small steps and track progress over time. Her approach balances practical skills with attention to emotions and relationships.

How Joye’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment. In practice this means sessions start by following what matters most to the client and shaping goals around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotional bonds between partners and helps people notice and shift interaction patterns that create disconnection.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joye collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will suggest techniques, try them together in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to be on camera for an entire session. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic skills and homework practices such as journaling, visualization, and communication exercises that are used in person.
