About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, and a range of intimacy and behavioral issues. He also addresses ADHD, coping with life changes, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and he accepts international clients.
Joshua focuses on practical steps more than long explorations of the past. He uses a solution-focused stance to help people find ways forward. In sessions he highlights strengths and competencies and helps people access motivation for change.
His work draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by breaking down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports letting go of struggle with emotions while choosing meaningful actions. Attachment-Based ideas are used when early relationship patterns shape current problems.
Joshua aims for clear, usable takeaways from each meeting. That might mean learning a new coping skill, trying a behavioral experiment, or identifying one small change to test between sessions. He emphasizes practical progress while collaborating with each person on goals and next steps.
Clients who want straightforward, goal-oriented sessions about family of origin patterns, relationships, or day-to-day functioning may find his style a good fit. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Joshua frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts or feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.He also uses Attachment-Based ideas when early relationship patterns affect current problems. That approach looks at how past caregiving relationships shape expectations and behavior in present relationships, which can be useful for family of origin issues and intimacy challenges.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process. Joshua works collaboratively to figure out which methods make the most sense based on a person's goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. He will discuss options and try approaches suited to the situation rather than insisting on a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If a quieter setting or less bandwidth is preferable, those practical considerations can shape how sessions are structured.
