Joshua Flowers, LPC - Therapist in Colorado

About Joshua

Joshua Flowers is a licensed professional counselor who uses a person-centered approach to help people handle stress, addiction, trauma, and family concerns. He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Joshua focuses on understanding what matters to each person and building on their strengths to make real changes.

He mixes Client-Centered Therapy with mindfulness and somatic practices so people can both think through problems and feel grounded in their bodies. Joshua also uses EMDR for trauma work and motivational interviewing for addiction and change-related goals.

Background and approach

Conversations are direct and compassionate, with attention to daily habits like sleep and coping skills. Joshua has worked in varied settings since 2002, including wilderness programs, drug and alcohol treatment, transitional housing for Veterans, and community mental health. He has maintained a independent practice since 2015 and brings 13 years of post-degree counseling experience to his work.

Joshua is licensed in Colorado as an LPC. Sessions often focus on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, managing mood shifts, cutting back on problematic behaviors, improving family dynamics, or finding clearer life purpose. He provides practical tools alongside reflective conversation so people can try things between sessions.

Outside of clinical work Joshua spends time running, biking, writing, and practicing meditation. He recently returned from living abroad in Berlin and continues to welcome clients who connect best with a down-to-earth, skills-focused approach.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Joshua combines Client-Centered Therapy with EMDR and mindfulness in ways that translate well to remote work. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace, helping people articulate goals and build practical steps forward; this approach supports work on family concerns, stress, and self esteem. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided attention to help process painful memories, and it can be adapted for video or phone sessions when appropriate. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Joshua collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress happens. People set the goals and he helps test different tools to see what works best in their everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy families and varied schedules. These options make it easier to attend from different locations, keep continuity between sessions, and use short check-ins when a full session is not possible. The format also supports follow-up work like mindfulness practice and motivational check-ins between meetings.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
