About Joseph
Joseph Myrick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 19 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, mood disorders, and life changes. He also works with issues such as ADHD, codependency, communication problems, and problems related to substance or process addictions.
He starts by listening to the story the person brings. He treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change next, not on labels or long histories.
His methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, clarify motivation for change, and identify small, doable steps toward clearer goals. Sessions aim to be direct and goal-oriented while still allowing room to talk things through.
People who come for help with substance use or process addictions can expect a focus on motivation and concrete strategies to interrupt unhelpful patterns. For relationship or codependency concerns, the work tends to emphasize clearer communication, boundary setting, and recognizing repeating roles that cause strain.
Joseph conducts his practice in English and is based in Washington. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Joseph uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and to test small changes that reduce distress. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify a person's reasons for change and to strengthen commitment when motivation feels mixed. This method is often helpful for those coping with substance or process addictions and for making lasting behavior shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions typically include goal-setting and a plan for practical next steps.
