About Joseph
Joseph Frey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado who draws on a practical, problem-solving approach. He focuses on trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. He aims to help people make changes that feel meaningful and manageable in day-to-day life.
Joseph uses a blend of trauma-focused methods and solution-oriented work to tailor care to each person. He spends time learning what matters most to the person sitting across from him and then builds clear goals together.
Background and approach
Sessions often move between addressing past hurts and developing skills for current problems like panic, obsessive thoughts, or process addictions. His background includes military service, corporate leadership, and many years running a personal business. That mix shapes a direct, focused style that still leaves room for reflection and emotional processing.
Joseph leans on narrative work to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves and on EMDR techniques for processing traumatic memories. People meet specific, practical steps in sessions. That might mean short-focused interventions, skill practice between meetings, or longer trauma work when needed.
He also incorporates coaching elements for career and life transitions. Outside of clinical work he enjoys technology, sports, working out, and video games. His varied life experience informs a solution-minded way of helping people move forward.

How EMDR and Solution-Focused Work Translate Online
EMDR helps people process distressing memories by using guided attention and bilateral stimulation alongside discussion. Online EMDR adapts these elements to a virtual session and can support work on post-traumatic stress, panic, and past abuse. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite those stories to reduce shame and blame. It is useful for relationship patterns, attachment struggles, and identity issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with solution-focused steps and moving into trauma-focused work later, or combining narrative reflection with targeted skill practice.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use nonverbal cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, between-session support, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
