About Joshua
Joshua Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. He works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, family problems, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He also focuses on issues such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, and drug and alcohol addiction.
Joshua has spent much of his career in substance use treatment. He has provided clinical care in settings that include medication-assisted treatment and detox, inpatient and residential programs, psychiatric hospitals, correctional institutions, and tele-health. That background shapes how he approaches conversations about substance use and related behavior.
In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep people stuck. He helps clients talk through how they relate to others, how control and communication problems show up, and how guilt or shame affect self-worth. Joshua tends to focus on concrete changes people can make in daily life.
He describes his work as deliberate practice and keeps developing his skills over time. That means he often blends approaches and adjusts methods based on what someone says is or is not working. Joshua frames therapy as practical problem-solving rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are offered in English and follow the LPC credential standards in Pennsylvania. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and use the site process to schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Joshua uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with substance use and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on building new coping skills and behaviors to reduce harmful actions and manage cravings. This kind of work breaks problems into small steps and practices concrete alternatives.Another approach centers on communication and boundary skills. It helps people notice how they give too much or struggle to say no, and then practice different ways of responding in ordinary interactions. That approach is useful for codependency, control issues, and family stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which technique fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Expect adjustments over the first few sessions as the plan is shaped together.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so conversations can occur between other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit real life.
