About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with eight years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Josh also helps people managing impulsivity, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Josh uses clear, goal-focused conversations to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. He also uses client-centered techniques to listen closely to each person's priorities and Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of difficult experiences.
In sessions he breaks issues into concrete steps that are easy to try between meetings. That can mean practicing a different way of responding to stress, testing a new behavior, or trying a short mindfulness practice. He aims to make each step manageable so changes feel possible in daily life.
Josh frames work around what the person wants to change most. He checks progress and adjusts approaches if something is not working. His style emphasizes practical skills alongside exploring the stories people tell about themselves.
People who choose him can expect direct, structured conversations about feelings, thinking, and behavior. He encourages straightforward feedback and focuses on methods that can be used outside the session. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Joshua commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; CBT helps break problems into specific skills and experiments to try between sessions. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's goals and experience, focusing on active listening and reflection to shape the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical tools for managing intense emotions and regulating impulses when those are getting in the way of daily life.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan based on what helps in practice. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than a fixed method.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms - CBT often uses homework and brief skill practice between meetings, while client-centered conversations may focus on what matters most in the moment. He helps people adapt exercises so they work in everyday settings without promising a specific format.
