01About Joshua
Joshua Cook is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and depression. He speaks plainly and offers calm, steady support for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Joshua believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, strengths-based stance to sessions.
He blends practical tools with a focus on what matters to each person. That can mean learning breathing and mindfulness skills, trying new ways of thinking, or practising emotion-regulation techniques.
Background and approach
Joshua aims to make therapy useful in day-to-day life, not just something that happens in a session. Joshua completed a bachelor’s degree at Texas A&M University, double majoring in psychology and economics. He earned a master’s degree in general psychology from Sam Houston State University and later pursued postgraduate counseling coursework at Liberty University.
Early work included time as a Mobile Crisis Outreach Coordinator and training public school staff in Mental Health First Aid. He has supported people on probation and parole as a counseling associate and case manager, and volunteered facilitating psychoeducation groups at a crisis stabilization unit.
In personal-practice roles he provided telehealth counseling to individuals, teens, children, and couples while working as an associate counselor. He draws on four years of professional experience and the practical lessons from those roles when helping clients set goals and try new habits. Joshua is licensed in Texas as an LPC.
He conducts sessions in English and uses a collaborative style that centers each person’s goals and day-to-day needs.

How Joshua Uses Practical Approaches Online
Joshua often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. CBT focuses on identifying day-to-day thinking patterns and testing them with experiments or behavioral changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.He approaches sessions in a collaborative way. Together the therapist and client look at goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what feels useful. Finding the right mix of strategies is part of the work, and clients are encouraged to give feedback about what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls let people work face-to-face for skills practice and emotion-focused conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, or family obligations.
