Joshua Elledge, LPC

Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, and trauma. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process and treats seeking help as a courageous first step.

Joshua keeps sessions client-centered and nonjudgmental. He listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. He encourages small, concrete changes that fit into daily life rather than overwhelming, abstract plans.

His work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping habits. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take action, plus dialectical strategies for strong emotional moments. Mindfulness practices are included when they can help regulate stress and focus attention.

Joshua has four years of counseling experience and uses that time to match approaches to each person's needs. He often focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits shape mood and behavior, and helps people try alternatives in the moment.

Sessions are practical and conversational. The aim is steady progress on real problems, such as addiction, family conflict, career pressure, or feelings of shame and isolation. Joshua encourages questions and shared decision making about next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Joshua commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action, which helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits that contribute to anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is observed and new needs emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills between sessions in their daily environment. A licensed professional will help you pick an approach and a practical way to schedule sessions that fits your life.
