About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a licensed professional counselor in Wyoming who focuses on listening and supporting each person's experience. He uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals in view. Josh aims to create an open space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, and attention differences like ADHD.
Josh frames therapy around what the client brings to the room. He combines client-centered work with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when appropriate. Mindfulness and narrative techniques also appear in sessions to help people notice patterns and make small changes.
With eight years of experience, Josh has worked with people facing mood difficulties, impulsivity, and reactions after traumatic events. He emphasizes clear, doable steps rather than jargon. Sessions often focus on building skills for coping with intense feelings and day-to-day challenges.
Josh believes the client knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. He encourages people to take small steps and to try strategies that fit their life. That practical, respectful tone guides how he plans goals and tracks progress.
To get started, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions as indicated. Josh supports working toward clearer routines, steadier moods, and more manageable responses to stress and loss.
How client-centered care and skill-based work translate online
Josh uses client-centered therapy to shape the conversation and meet each person where they are, focusing on the client's own goals and perspective. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments that can change day-to-day functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques are offered as needed to teach skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Josh collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try based on needs, goals, and what fits their life. That shared decision-making helps tailor each plan and adjust it over time if something isn’t working.
