About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and ADHD. Josh keeps things straightforward and practical so parents can find clear ways forward.
He uses a client-centered approach that starts by listening to each person's story and strengths. From there he blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and narrative work are also part of his toolkit when people want to make sense of difficult experiences. Josh draws on eight years of clinical experience in varied settings. That time has given him practice working with impulsivity, mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress alongside the more common stress and anxiety issues parents bring.
He aims to keep sessions focused and practical so clients leave with steps they can try between visits. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration. He helps people set realistic goals, try new strategies, and adjust plans based on what works.
He also talks plainly about how different techniques can help in everyday life, from handling strong emotions to organizing routines. Josh invites people to take the first step when they feel ready. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, and then he works with each person to find an approach that fits their needs and rhythm.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely, reflect what matters, and help the client set goals that feel realistic in everyday life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change thought and behavior patterns. In virtual sessions Josh can help identify unhelpful thoughts, practice small behavioral experiments, and track progress between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and often involves practicing specific skills that can be reviewed during video or chat-based check-ins.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Josh will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative work continues across formats so people can find what fits their life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or when a quick strategy is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, work breaks, or other daily demands.
