About Joshua
Joshua (Josh) Phelps is a licensed professional counselor in Wyoming. He uses a straightforward, person-focused style to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Josh encourages clients to recognize their strengths and take steady steps forward.
Josh practices in a client-centered way, which means he listens first and follows the client's pace. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He blends mindfulness tools and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Across eight years of clinical work Josh has supported people dealing with mood concerns, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. He focuses on clear goals and practical skills that can be used between sessions.
Sessions often include skill practice, goal tracking, and problem-solving tailored to each person's routine. Josh frames therapy as a collaborative process. He helps people tell their story in ways that make sense to them and then builds steps to move forward.
Parents who are juggling stress and caregiving responsibilities can find concrete strategies for daily life. He offers multiple ways to connect, from live video to phone calls, chat, and text-based messaging. That flexibility is intended to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
Josh speaks English and practices in Wyoming as an LPC.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following each person's pace. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what matters most to the client and shape goals around daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift patterns. In online CBT sessions clients often practice exercises between meetings and review what worked or didn’t.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josh collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT skill-building, adding mindfulness practices for stress, or using DBT strategies when emotional regulation is a priority. Treatment choices are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help with brief updates, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy parenting life.
