About Joe
LICSW and LCSW licensed in Florida and Alabama with 22 years of experience, Joe Purvis helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, first responder and veteran concerns, and challenges like guilt, shame, isolation, and life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and are set up through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Joe works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult situations. He listens for those strengths and helps people put them to use on practical problems. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused so people can see what steps might make a difference.
Across his practice he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood problems, post-traumatic stress, and relationship-related difficulties. He helps people identify patterns that increase stress and practices concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage anger. For trauma and sexual assault concerns he attends to the ways past events affect day-to-day thinking and behavior.
In sessions he supports work on communication problems, parenting and fatherhood concerns, and issues tied to HIV/AIDS and isolation. He also assists people facing career and purpose questions. The approach is practical: set small goals, try new behaviors between sessions, and review what works.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and the subscription model governs session payments and cancellation. If you want to begin, select the See online therapy options button and follow the prompted steps.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Joe uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and trauma-related problems. For anxiety and stress he focuses on practical skills such as breathing and behavioral experiments that reduce immediate symptoms and test beliefs. These are short, repeatable exercises clients can practice between meetings.For post-traumatic stress and trauma-related concerns he attends to how past events shape current thoughts and behaviors, and works on grounding strategies and gradual processing. These methods aim to reduce avoidance and help people regain control over daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit the client’s needs and goals. That collaborative process includes adapting methods if something isn’t helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let clients try skills in their everyday settings and then discuss how those experiments went in the next meeting.
