About Joshua
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 4 years of experience, Joshua Cook helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues. He frames clients as the experts on their own lives and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths. Joshua emphasizes practical steps and straightforward conversation rather than abstract labels.
Joshua uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. He focuses on clear tools people can use between sessions, such as thought-behavior work, grounding and mindfulness practices, and skills for emotional regulation. Sessions aim to identify patterns that maintain problems and try small, doable changes.

Early roles included Mobile Crisis Outreach Coordinator and training public school teachers in Mental Health First Aid.
Joshua has worked with people on probation and parole as a counseling associate and case manager. He volunteered at a Crisis Stabilization Unit facilitating psychoeducation groups on relapse prevention and building social support. He has also provided telehealth counseling in private practice settings to couples, children, teens, and individuals as an associate counselor.
He describes his role as practical and collaborative. He will help a person set concrete goals, try specific skills, and adjust the plan based on what works.

How his approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. The therapist encourages people to lead the conversation while offering reflection and practical feedback to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. In sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what helps or hinders progress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online work often includes practicing these skills between meetings and reviewing results together.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He adjusts the plan based on what the person finds useful, so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.
The biography notes previous telehealth counseling but does not list current session formats here, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and cut commute time. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples directly into sessions.
