About Joseph
Joseph Youngblood is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He brings 33 years of clinical experience and a long recovery journey that informs his approach to addiction and anger concerns. Joseph speaks English and draws on a mix of practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life disruptions.
He uses clear, direct conversation to help people name what is happening and try small changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on skills to handle strong feelings, patterns that maintain problems, and choices that match someone’s values. Joseph describes his background in both military and civilian settings and has provided care across the United States, Europe, and Asia. His clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Those approaches are used to address depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and substance use among other issues. Joseph also works with anger and related control or communication problems. He draws on long experience supporting people coping with major life change, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship conflict.
He also helps when addictive behaviors, co-occurring disorders, or compassion fatigue are part of the picture. Practical coping strategies and steady, straightforward dialogue are common features of his work. Joseph previously worked in military-focused counseling roles and brings that experience into sessions without assuming a military identity is required.
He aims to meet people where they are and help them set realistic steps toward clearer thinking and steadier behavior.

How Joseph’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone struggles with anger, anxiety, or life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which can be helpful for anger and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joseph will work with each person to consider goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods, check what works, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text sessions make shorter check-ins possible and can fit into busy days. These options aim to make regular work on goals more flexible and simpler to schedule.
