About Joshua

Joshua Crockett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps families and parents manage everyday pressures. He focuses on clear, practical support for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, substance concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. He writes treatment plans that fit each family's situation and keeps conversations focused and direct.

Clients can expect an approach grounded in respect and compassionate listening. Joshua has been practicing for 10 years and works from Georgia as an LCSW, with the CSW designation also listed.

Background and approach

His work combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and client-centered principles to address immediate problems. He uses simple tools parents can try between sessions to reduce tension and improve routines. In sessions he helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes to behavior.

Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and attention in short, usable ways. He also draws on solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals and measure progress quickly. Joshua has experience with children, adolescents, and adults in contexts of anxiety, depression, family separation, and parenting strain.

He has also supported children who survived abuse or neglect. That background informs a careful, trauma-aware stance when needed. Therapy with him tends to be practical and collaborative.

He aims to make sessions feel like a problem-solving conversation where parents can try new approaches and get feedback. The plan is adjusted as families make changes and notice what works.

Approaches that translate well to online family work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping parents say what matters most. It helps create a space where concerns are heard and goals come from the family itself rather than being imposed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause stress or conflict. That approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood because it breaks problems into steps people can try and measure.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what works for each family. That collaborative stance means techniques can be mixed to fit a child or parent’s pace and comfort level.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to practice new strategies at home. The variety of options also helps families keep momentum between appointments and choose the mode that feels most practical for them.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
