About Joseph
Dr. Joseph Lukas-Drouillard Hogan practices with a client-centered approach. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and related life challenges.
Joseph Hogan uses plain language and steady listening to make room for what matters most to each person. He holds social work licenses in Ohio and New Mexico and brings 20 years of experience to his work. He trained in psychology and social work and has worked in many settings.
Background and approach
Early work included career counseling and inpatient psychiatric social work. He earned a Master of Social Work from Eastern Michigan University and later added business training and other studies that inform his practical problem solving. His background includes work as a drug and alcohol counselor and long experience with older adults in independent practice.
He has worked in rural communities, on a Native American reservation, and with military health systems. That varied experience shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style that values real-life concerns over jargon. Joseph Hogan can support people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, career crossroads, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
He is also familiar with hospice and end-of-life counseling, veteran and first responder issues, and coping after disasters. He offers a steady presence and straightforward skills to help people move forward. Outside of practice he lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
He enjoys driving in the mountains, classic rock, flea markets, and football. He frames therapy around building self-love and practical self-care to make daily life feel more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the client feel heard. It aims to create space for people to name their priorities and make changes at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It includes simple, practical exercises that can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping issues, and stress management.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change. It is useful when someone wants help shifting habits or making a new plan for difficult problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, travel, or living in rural areas. They let people connect from wherever they are and use the format that fits their daily life best.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
