About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical ways to help people move forward from stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. Joshua aims to help clients notice their strengths and use them to make meaningful changes in daily life.
His approach emphasizes solution-focused work rather than digging into every cause of a problem. Sessions center on identifying clear next steps and building skills that are useful right away. He helps people access inner motivation and reinforces the abilities they already have.
Joshua draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He adapts these approaches to fit what each person needs in the moment and the goals they bring to therapy.
Over his career he has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, such as grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, ADHD, chronic illness, body image, and career transitions. He also works with matters related to adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, and complex co-occurring issues.

Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing practical changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people strengthen connection, set boundaries, and understand relational triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during treatment.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and it can let people use methods like ACT and CBT homework between sessions. Confirm the session formats available with the therapist before booking so you know which options are offered.
