About Joy
Joy King is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and motivation. Her profile also notes work with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Joy uses straightforward conversation to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps set small, concrete goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps rather than long explanations.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and brief solution-focused tools to address immediate problems. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques when someone needs help finding reasons to change. Narrative ideas may be used to reframe past events that keep showing up in everyday life.
Joy tends to work in short, goal-oriented ways when that fits a person’s needs. She checks in about progress and adjusts plans if something is not working. This creates clear next steps after each session.
People who reach out can expect direct, organized conversations about what to try next. Joy invites practical problem solving, tracking small wins, and revisiting plans as life changes. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site flow to see online therapy options and complete the intake questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Using CBT and client-centered methods for remote sessions
Joy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include short experiments, thought records, and clear homework tasks to practice between meetings. Client-centered therapy is used alongside CBT to prioritize what matters most to the person and to keep the work focused on their goals.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify why change matters and to build internal motivation. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking next steps. The therapist and client decide together which mix of methods fits current needs and goals, and they adjust that plan as progress or obstacles appear.
