About Joshua
Joshua Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, anger, and career difficulties.

Joshua uses straightforward conversation to clarify what brings someone to therapy. Sessions focus on identifying goals and practical steps that fit into a busy schedule. He aims to make sessions manageable for people juggling work and life demands.
His approach draws on several methods to address thought patterns, values, and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and develops new coping actions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take steps toward them even when anxiety is present.
Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and topics based on the person's experience and preferences. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing change and need help finding their own reasons to move forward.
In sessions Joshua talks through concrete strategies, practice exercises, and small steps clients can try between meetings. He encourages people to set achievable goals and to review progress together.

How Joshua uses ACT, CBT, and client-centered work in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions toward them even when anxiety or fear is present. It focuses on what matters and on committed steps rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and teaches specific skills to reduce anxious or avoidant responses, useful for social anxiety and panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person’s experience and pace, letting the client guide topics while the therapist offers reflection and support.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. He discusses options and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed together.

It also lets people try approaches such as behavioral experiments or exposure practice between meetings in real-world settings. Ask about the available session formats during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions match practical needs.
