Joshua (Josh) Phelps , LPC

Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with eight years of clinical experience. He supports people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges related to parenting and ADHD, and also works with concerns such as impulsivity, mood disorders, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

Josh approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the view that each person is the expert on their own story and carries resources to draw on during difficult times. He blends empathy and collaboration with practical strategies, helping clients identify goals and build skills to manage symptoms and life transitions.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require real courage, he affirms those who take that first step and aims to create a respectful, encouraging environment. Josh works with clients in ways that honor individual experiences while offering evidence-informed methods to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Joshua uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist follows their priorities; this approach supports people coping with grief, parenting challenges, and the everyday strain of stress and anxiety.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building concrete skills to manage mood, anxiety, and attention-related difficulties such as those seen with ADHD.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used when impulsivity, intense emotions, or self-regulation challenges are central concerns; DBT offers practical skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joshua will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor techniques that fit their situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to provide regular, ongoing support while adapting to each client’s practical needs and communication style.
