About Joshua
Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of clinical experience based in Idaho. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, career stress, and depression. Joshua also focuses on issues such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness.
His approach is collaborative and client-centered. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and uses practical strategies drawn from several therapy models. Sessions involve talking through problems, learning new skills, and practicing simple exercises between meetings.
Joshua draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and clarify personal values. He also mentions working with substance use and family-of-origin problems when relevant.
In sessions he aims to be direct and respectful. Conversations often include goal-setting, behavior experiments, and attention skills to reduce reactivity. He encourages small, manageable steps that can fit into day-to-day life.
People who choose him can expect practical tools alongside conversational, client-led work. For someone who finds social situations or decision-making stressful, his mix of skill work and values-based planning offers concrete next steps. To start, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than trying to eliminate every worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone responds in tense moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions the focus and tools can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around busy days, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using in-session exercises and home practice between sessions to build skills for stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns.
