Joshua Siskin , LMFT

Joshua Siskin has worked as a mental health professional for 14 years. He practices with a solution-focused orientation, emphasizing practical steps that help clients move forward rather than spending extensive time on how a problem first arose.

He aims to draw out and strengthen each person’s existing abilities and competencies, helping clients access their inner resources. Sessions are oriented toward tangible progress so that people leave feeling more hopeful and more capable in daily life.

Joshua believes that meaningful change depends on the client’s readiness to act, and he sees his role as helping to awaken and support that motivation. His work centers on partnering with clients to identify clear, realistic steps that foster lasting improvement.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action in line with those values while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and difficulties that involve avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop in close relationships and seeks to strengthen connection, trust, and emotional regulation. It can be helpful for relationship struggles, attachment issues, and family-related concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build more effective coping strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joshua works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most useful and adjust the work as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life changes occur, and access licensed professionals from different locations while tailoring the pace and format of care to each client’s situation.
