About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 17 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and grief. He also addresses issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career changes, ADHD and related challenges.
Joshua emphasizes practical steps over long searches for causes. He focuses on solution-oriented work that helps clients move forward. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build small, doable changes that feel relevant to day-to-day life.
His work draws on several clinical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods are used to teach coping skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and address emotional regulation and relationships.
Joshua invites people to notice what already helps them and to try new, concrete strategies when needed. He emphasizes practical skill-building and short-term goals alongside deeper work when that feels useful. Sessions tend to focus on what a client can try between meetings to test changes in real situations.
He offers therapy in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's online options.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions that matter to the client. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decision-related stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful routines. This approach is often used for anxiety, sleep or eating issues, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. He balances short-term skills with longer-term relational or emotional work as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family life, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and let clients practice skills in their day-to-day settings. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions, which helps the client test changes between meetings and track what works.
