About Joshua

Joshua Plantz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and mental health counseling and has focused much of his work on addictions and recovery as well as common adult mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and adjustment-related difficulties. Over his career he has also supported adults who have experienced abusive relationships and resulting trauma symptoms.

Joshua emphasizes a collaborative, solution-oriented style that draws on practical techniques to address immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. He integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness-based material to help clients develop coping skills, change unhelpful thinking, and manage stressors.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods also inform his work, especially when clients are navigating change, addiction recovery, or habit shifts like smoking or vaping cessation. Clients seeking someone experienced with ADHD, mood conditions, trauma, or life transitions may find his approach structured yet approachable, aimed at finding workable steps forward while respecting each person's goals and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Joshua often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, making it well suited to structured online sessions where clients learn tools they can use between meetings.

He also uses mindfulness therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness, stress management, and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices can be guided easily through video or audio sessions and support coping with overwhelming emotions or attention difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to prioritize goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques over time to find what helps most. This shared planning helps tailor online care to an individual’s preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during busy periods, and access support without travel, making it easier to fit consistent care into everyday life.
