About Joshua
Joshua Mondary is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and issues around motivation and confidence. Joshua uses practical, conversational methods to help people make changes they want to see.
He approaches sessions with a focus on concrete steps and collaboration. Conversations often include identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying small experiments to test new ways of acting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are a frequent part of this work, alongside mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
Joshua also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck about change. This helps when someone wants clearer reasons and a plan for moving forward. He draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when it helps clients notice deeper patterns or set short-term goals.
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. People can expect to talk things through, try out skills between meetings, and reflect on what worked or didn’t. Joshua presents ideas plainly and checks in about how they feel in real life.
Many people come with overlapping concerns - grief, trauma, addiction, career stress, or family conflict - and the work blends strategies to address those different threads. He encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels possible and not overwhelming.
How Joshua uses therapy approaches online
Joshua frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new behaviors, and reviewing what changed between meetings.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus. These practices tend to be short, guided exercises that people can use when stress spikes or before important social interactions.
Choosing how to work together is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which approaches seem most useful for the person’s goals and preferences, and then try them out while checking in about what feels helpful. Adjustments are made as needed so the work fits the client’s life.
