About Joseph

LICSW in Washington with 19 years of experience, Joseph Myrick helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, trauma, and grief. He also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, and major life changes. Joseph uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in his work.

Joseph speaks plainly with clients and treats them as the experts in their own lives. He listens for strengths and practical ways to apply them. Sessions involve looking at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, clarifying goals, and finding small, doable steps toward change.

His approach is goal-minded and collaborative. He helps people set clear targets, test what works, and adjust plans when needed. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to strengthen a person’s own reasons for moving forward.

For addiction-related concerns he combines motivational work with behavior-focused strategies. That can include identifying triggers, building coping skills, and developing routines that reduce risk. Solution-Focused techniques are used to notice exceptions and build on what already helps in daily life.

Joseph’s style is direct and practical. He prioritizes short-term strategies that create breathing room and longer-term skills that reduce relapse or repeated setbacks. People who want step-by-step options and clear feedback tend to find this approach useful.

How his approaches shape online sessions

Joseph uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then test alternatives in everyday life. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood-related problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s reasons for change and increasing their own motivation; it is often used for addictions and ambivalence about change.

Finding the right method is part of the work. He will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean prioritizing skill practice, motivational work, or solution-focused steps depending on what the person wants to achieve.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work when life changes make in-person visits harder. Ask for current session formats and scheduling details when you set up the first appointment.
