About Joshua
Joshua Mondary is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. He offers straightforward support for parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, motivation issues, and addiction-related problems. Joshua speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
He sees therapy as a collaborative process. He starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying what already works for them.
Background and approach
From there he uses goal-oriented strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and build better daily routines. Joshua draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also integrates mindfulness to help people stay present, and motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change.
These approaches are applied in simple, step-by-step ways that match a person’s pace. With eight years of experience as a California LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist - he has supported people facing grief, trauma, bipolar challenges, career shifts, and family pressures. He also works with concerns such as autism-related issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and impulsivity.
Sessions focus on clear skills, short-term goals, and real-life problem solving. Joshua aims to help people leave sessions with something they can use right away, whether that is a coping tool, a communication strategy, or a plan for the coming week.

Online approaches and flexible session options
Joshua commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse, and it is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and emotional regulation.He also draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and set small, achievable goals. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits and helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
