About Joshua
Joshua Barlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of clinical experience based in Colorado. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and LGBT concerns. Joshua focuses on practical coping skills people can use day to day to feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
He draws on experience leading clinical work in residential settings for eating disorders. That background shapes a straightforward approach to skills training and problem solving. Sessions emphasize concrete tools rooted in the neuroscience of emotion and coping, alongside space to talk about difficult topics like self-harm and trauma when they come up.
Joshua mixes a trauma-focused, humanistic foundation with evidence-based techniques. He uses elements from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, somatic practices, mindfulness, and feminist-informed perspectives. This blend aims to give specific strategies rather than vague advice.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, codependent patterns, trouble setting limits, attachment worries, or body image concerns may find the focus useful. Joshua also works with issues tied to chronic illness, dissociation, and sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink when those topics are part of someone’s difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. To get started, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Evidence-based cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes. These methods help with anxiety, low mood, and troublesome eating-related habits by breaking problems into concrete steps and practicing new responses.Mindfulness and somatic work bring attention to bodily sensations and present-moment awareness. Those practices are used to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce reactivity, and reconnect with sensations when dissociation or chronic stress is present.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Joshua will help clients weigh goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions focus on skills that actually fit daily life.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time on a workday. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help maintain momentum and practice skills between meetings.
