About Joshua
Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and relationship strain. He sees reaching out for help as a brave first step and aims to make sessions practical and down to earth. Joshua uses a calm, respectful style and focuses on what matters to each person.
Joshua keeps sessions collaborative and nonjudgmental. He treats clients as the experts in their own lives and works alongside them to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Conversations center on current problems, patterns that keep those problems going, and steps someone can try between sessions. His approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness techniques. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills for intense feelings, and clarify values to guide change.
Practical tools and short exercises are commonly used in sessions. Joshua has four years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential. He practices in Idaho and carries a focus on issues such as trauma, family of origin concerns, codependency, and substance use alongside mood and anxiety difficulties.
He also addresses struggles like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and communication problems. Sessions can include skill coaching, values-based planning, and guided mindfulness practice. Joshua aims to offer straightforward guidance that people can use between appointments.
He looks to build steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches work online and in session
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes because it focuses on what matters instead of trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and offers concrete experiments and skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and substance use because it gives clear steps to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense reactions and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they may try one method, mix techniques, or adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible. Video calls let therapists and clients practice skills together in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, flexible check-ins and written coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
