About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who focuses on men's wellbeing and common concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. He draws on four years of clinical experience and a background in ministry to offer a down-to-earth style that many find approachable. Josh aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of where someone is starting from.
He helps people talk through what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and confidence. Sessions often look at practical ways to manage worries, reduce unhelpful thinking, and build small habits that lead to steadier mood. Josh also addresses issues tied to guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
People who bring process addictions such as pornography, exercise, or gambling concerns can work on clear goals and concrete strategies. Josh combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused work to keep sessions grounded and action-oriented. The ministry background means faith can be part of sessions when a client wants to include it.
His approach emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental listening so clients can say difficult things and test new behaviors between meetings. He encourages practical steps and short-term goals that fit into busy lives.
If you want to start, expect a straightforward intake and a conversation about targets for therapy. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
How these approaches can work in online therapy
Joshua uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, concrete changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.He also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These exercises can reduce reactivity and make stressful moments easier to tolerate.
Solution-focused therapy is another part of his work and emphasizes clear goals and steps you can try between sessions. It helps when someone wants quick, practical moves to improve day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the collaboration. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and tailor methods that feel right for you. Expect regular check-ins about progress and adjustments when a different emphasis makes sense.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
