About Joshua

Joshua Siskin uses a solution-focused style of therapy that emphasizes practical steps forward rather than dwelling on how or why a problem began. He works to identify and strengthen a person's existing skills and resources, helping them connect with inner strengths they can use outside the therapy session.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Joshua aims to make each session feel productive and oriented toward tangible change. He focuses on eliciting and reinforcing positive attributes and competencies so that clients leave feeling more capable and hopeful about life. His role is to awaken and support the motivation to change, while clients bring the desire to move forward.

Sessions center on clear goals and actionable strategies tailored to what the individual wants to achieve. Joshua's approach is straightforward and collaborative, with the intent that clients notice improvement in their mood, relationships, or day-to-day functioning as they apply what they learn in therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Joshua Siskin



Joshua draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that block meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections - it is useful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and attachment wounds.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Joshua works with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, access therapists from different locations, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while still working with licensed professionals focused on practical and meaningful progress.
