About Joy

Joy King is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address depression, navigate relationship concerns, and rebuild self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Her background also includes supporting clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Joy emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate therapeutic stance, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.

She draws on collaborative methods to help clients clarify goals, explore personal stories, and develop practical strategies for change. Seeking therapy is framed as a courageous first step, and she aims to empower clients as they pursue a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Her approach blends empathy with evidence-informed techniques to support gradual progress and stronger coping skills.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy places the client's perspective and priorities at the center of each session, emphasizing empathic listening and collaborative planning to help people feel understood and heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises that clients can apply between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress-related patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen internal motivation for change through respectful, goal-oriented conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue care from a distance. These formats support ongoing work on skills, planning, and reflective dialogue while accommodating varied schedules and communication styles.
