About Joseph
Joseph Setchel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 21 years of experience. He offers straightforward, practical help for people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and other life challenges. He meets each person where they are and shapes sessions around what they want to work on.
Sessions focus on increasing insight, building coping skills, and clarifying choices so people can make better decisions in daily life.
Background and approach
Joseph emphasizes honesty, cultural awareness, and authentic connection in sessions. His training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stetson University and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from the University of Central Florida. He completed a two-year post-master’s internship and earned his Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and a New Hampshire Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential.
Joseph blends several practical approaches to match a person’s needs. He may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, Client-Centered techniques to support personal growth, or Solution-Focused tools for concrete progress. He aims for therapy that produces clearer thinking and more effective coping strategies.
People who choose him can expect direct, conversational sessions that focus on real-life changes. He works with adults concerned about relationships, parenting stress, mood problems, sleep, anger, career decisions, and trauma-related issues. The goal is steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.

How Joseph’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and supports a person in finding their own answers; this helps when someone needs space to sort values, identity, or parenting decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and managing ADHD symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joseph will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending client-centered listening with CBT exercises or introducing mindfulness practices to support coping.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people follow up in writing. This range of formats helps people keep momentum and access help from different situations.
