Joshua (Josh) Phelps, LPC - Therapist in Wyoming

About Joshua

Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. He uses a client-centered way of working, meeting people where they are and listening first. Josh focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and attention differences like ADHD.

He speaks English and brings eight years of counseling experience to each session. Josh believes each person knows their own story and carries strengths that matter in change.

Background and approach

He uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy tools help when emotions feel overwhelming and impulsive reactions get in the way of relationships or goals. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are woven into sessions to help people notice thoughts and reshape their personal stories.

That mix supports coping with loss, mood shifts, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Josh aims for clear steps people can try between sessions and helps track what works. His style is collaborative and straightforward.

People can expect a focus on real-life problems and short-term strategies alongside deeper meaning work when needed. Josh emphasizes skills that parents and adults can use day to day. To begin, he asks about current concerns and goals, then together they pick approaches that fit.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and he offers several online session formats.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space to talk about what matters most and helps people identify their own strengths and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Those skills can be useful for anxiety, stress, ADHD-related difficulties, and mood challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about current problems, goals, and personal preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they track progress and adjust strategies if something isn’t helping. This collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that fit a person’s life and parenting responsibilities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That variety makes it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules, get quick skill coaching between tasks, or use a format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, practice new responses, and follow up on progress without needing to travel to an office.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
