About Joshua
Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, career uncertainty, and life transitions. Joshua also focuses on issues such as codependency, commitment struggles, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Joshua's approach is collaborative and client-centered. He treats each person as the expert on their life and partners with them to identify workable steps forward. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on skills that help manage emotions and improve daily functioning.
He uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. These approaches are used to address unhelpful thought patterns, increase emotional regulation, and build values-based action in everyday life.
In session he encourages clear communication, problem solving, and gradual exposure to difficult feelings or situations when appropriate. Joshua also draws on motivational interviewing strategies when motivation or substance use concerns are part of the picture.
Clients can expect straightforward discussions about goals and step-by-step plans to practice between sessions. Joshua aims to help people clarify what matters to them now and take practical steps toward those priorities.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that line up with those values. It helps when someone feels stuck after a life change and wants to identify what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior that increase anxiety or depression, teaching practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for managing intense feelings and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from ACT, CBT, or DBT and checking in regularly to see what helps.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online appointments make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, try brief coaching between sessions, or attend without travel time. The focus remains on making therapy useful and doable alongside everyday responsibilities.
