About Joshua
Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and family concerns, including family of origin issues. Joshua also supports people facing anger, career challenges, and life transitions.
Joshua centers sessions on a collaborative, client-centered style. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. Sessions often include clear behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to manage difficult thoughts and strong feelings.
He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Joshua uses these methods together with straightforward conversation about goals and next steps.
People come for many reasons - codependency, commitment worries, infidelity, fatherhood concerns, or trouble setting limits. Joshua also works with those struggling with guilt, shame, isolation, and problems with communication or control. He helps people notice how the family they grew up in still shapes choices now.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Joshua will talk through current struggles, introduce hands-on techniques, and plan small experiments to try between meetings. He explains approaches in everyday language and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.
Approaches used in online sessions
Joshua commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in straightforward ways. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that line up with those values, which helps when life feels directionless or stuck. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors together, offering simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses to stress.He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust what they do based on what feels most useful. That means methods can be mixed and adapted to address issues like anxiety, addiction, family of origin patterns, or relationship concerns.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow using worksheets, guided mindfulness, and skill practice during a session to immediately try new techniques and then use them between meetings.
