About Joseph

Joseph Kaiser is a New York State licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. He works with adults and young adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and LGBT issues. He also supports people facing trauma, anger, attention difficulties, and major life changes.

Joseph uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. He offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, the Gottman Method for relationship work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and steps that someone can use between meetings.

People often come to him when parenting feels overwhelming, when communication breaks down at home, or when anxiety and mood swings make daily life harder. He helps people sort out what’s happening, try new ways of responding, and notice what makes a difference. Work can include skill practice, thought coaching, and problem-solving exercises.

Joseph draws on his years working with a wide range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, and body image. He also has experience with themes such as codependency, commitment worries, and navigating kink and alternative sexuality topics when those are part of a person’s life.

He practices in New York and offers services in English. People who are considering a first step are encouraged to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Joseph commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be practiced between meetings and reviewed over video or phone. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices that people can use to manage stress or anxiety during a busy day.

He also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship communication is part of the work. That approach breaks interactions into observable patterns and offers skills for clearer conversation and repair. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit the current problem and goals, and they adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed protocol.

Session formats are not listed on the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into days with work, childcare, or errands because they remove travel time. Others choose formats that let them have shorter check-ins during a break or a session without video when bandwidth is an issue. The focus remains on practical steps and habits that can be carried into daily life.
