About Joshua
Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with four years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and life changes. He also focuses on concerns such as codependency, abandonment, communication problems, and issues that come from family of origin wounds.
Joshua uses a direct, client-centered approach in sessions. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and helps them clarify what matters. Sessions focus on small, practical steps people can use between meetings to manage stress, reduce anxious thinking, and respond differently in tense moments.
His methods include cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people choose actions that match their values. He also draws on dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness to teach tools for emotion regulation and staying present during distressing moments.
Joshua aims to collaborate on clear goals such as setting boundaries, reducing substance use, improving communication, or moving through grief and betrayal. He often mixes skills practice with spoken reflection and problem-solving. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to the real-world barriers people face.
People who struggle to say no, lose themselves in relationships, or live around someone else’s drinking may find his focus helpful. He works in English and practices in Idaho. To start, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without letting those thoughts dictate actions. It focuses on choosing actions that match what matters to someone, useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making changes like reducing substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to challenge thinking patterns and practice different behaviors when anxiety or depression arise.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress or barriers appear. Sessions often blend skill practice with reflection so people can apply what they learn between meetings.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone for different needs, and the emphasis is on matching session length and pacing to what fits someone’s routine.
