About Joshua

Joshua Krebs is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings ten years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship struggles. He speaks plainly and aims to help parents and families find practical ways forward.

Joshua blends structured techniques with attention to real-life challenges. He has worked with children, teens, and couples at different stages of relationships, including dating, engaged, married, and divorcing partners.

Background and approach

Much of his work has supported teens, children of divorce, and people coping with addiction. He also helps with communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, mood concerns, and issues that can arise during pregnancy and childbirth.

Joshua trained in theology and counseling, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Union University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University. He is licensed in Tennessee as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, TN LPC 4511. In sessions he commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Existential Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and life choices.

He also draws on years of ministry and non-profit experience to support people during major life transitions and crises. Joshua aims to help families improve communication, manage stress, and work through parenting challenges. He offers practical tools and a straightforward approach so parents can make steady changes at home.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Joshua often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and then teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and many everyday stressors.

He also draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people consider values, meaning, and life choices when facing transitions. That work can help parents and partners making big decisions or coping with loss and identity shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor methods to each family's situation.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and allow steady contact between meetings. The variety of formats helps maintain progress when in-person visits are difficult.
