About Joseph
Joseph Hansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with eight years of mental health experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and major life changes. He also offers coaching-style support for practical steps and goal setting.
Joseph uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try different responses, and build routines that fit daily life. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with approaches that emphasize values, emotion regulation, and relationships.
His background includes nearly two decades in the United States Air Force, where he served in Security Forces and as a Readiness NCO. That experience shaped his focus on practical problem solving, resilience, and systems that support day-to-day functioning. He has also worked with issues related to first responder and veteran challenges.
In practice he combines clear goals with short-term skill-building and longer-term exploration when needed. Sessions often include exercises for thinking, behavior, and emotional regulation. Homework and concrete experiments are used to test what works outside of sessions.
Joseph is based in Montana and holds the MT LCSW credential. He works in English and structures care around measurable steps people can try between meetings. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set priorities.
How CBT, ACT, and attachment work in online sessions
Joseph commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors; CBT focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to value-driven actions even when difficult feelings remain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and helps people build more reliable ways of connecting with others.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Joseph will work with each person to see which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions often focus on a few measurable goals and then adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.
