About Joshua
Joshua Curry is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. He focuses on addictions, relationship concerns, family issues, anger, and self-esteem, and also addresses matters such as fatherhood issues, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
He has long experience working in substance use settings. That work has included medication-assisted treatment, inpatient and residential programs, psychiatric hospitals, correctional institutions, and tele-health. He has spent many years helping people with drug and alcohol addiction and related problems like codependency and communication breakdowns.
Joshua describes his approach as grounded in deliberate practice and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He aims to adapt as needs change and to use methods that fit the current problem. In a session he will talk through the situation, help clarify goals, and use practical strategies to manage feelings and behaviors.
Clients who bring guilt or shame about relationships, parenting choices, or past decisions will find a clinician experienced with those themes. He also works with people facing anger, control issues, dependent behavior, or the stresses of caregiving and first responder roles.
Joshua's background includes many treatment settings and long-term clinical work with substance use. He asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are conducted in English in Pennsylvania.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Many of the techniques Joshua uses are those shown to help with addictive behaviors and strong emotions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at unhelpful thinking and teach new coping skills to change behavior and mood. These methods can help with cravings, guilt, and patterns that keep problems repeating.Motivational approaches focus on what matters to the person and build readiness for change in small steps. That style helps when someone feels stuck or conflicted about changing substance use, relationships, or caregiving roles.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to see which approaches fit their needs and goals. He describes his practice as adaptive, matching techniques to current concerns rather than using one fixed method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer shorter or audio-only appointments when bandwidth or a quieter environment is needed; check what formats are offered when you set up the first appointment.
