About Joshua

Joshua Cook is an LPC based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. He frames therapy around the belief that clients are experts on their own lives and that many strengths already exist to support meaningful change.

Background and approach

Joshua emphasizes collaborative effort, encouraging clients to take courageous first steps toward greater well-being while providing steady support through the process. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University with a double major in Psychology and Economics and a master’s degree in general psychology from Sam Houston State University, along with post-graduate counseling study at Liberty University.

His professional history includes roles as a Mobile Crisis Outreach Coordinator, training public school teachers in Mental Health First Aid, and serving people on probation and parole as a counseling associate and case manager. Joshua’s clinical experience also includes facilitating psychoeducation groups in a Crisis Stabilization Unit and providing telehealth counseling in independent practice settings.

Joshua draws on a mix of client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, existential, and mindfulness approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. He aims to help clients discover hope, practical strategies, and recovery pathways that fit their goals and daily lives.

How therapeutic approaches meet the flexibility of online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach helps people clarify values and goals while building on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support those managing intense emotions, anger, or mood instability.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Joshua works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adapt techniques and priorities over time so treatment remains practical and relevant.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and offer different ways to engage with therapeutic tools and homework. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow for consistent contact between sessions when appropriate, and can help clients access care from wherever they are in Texas.
