About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a California LMFT with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, depression, trauma and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and Joshua accepts international clients.
He focuses on practical ways to move forward rather than digging into how problems first started. That means sessions aim for clear steps and strategies clients can try between meetings. He draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to build coping skills and reduce unhelpful patterns.
Joshua also uses attachment-based ideas to help people examine how close relationships affect mood and behavior. He pays attention to strengths clients already have and looks for ways to make those strengths more useful day to day. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal oriented.
Many people come to him worried about parenting stress, intimacy issues, grief, or trouble sleeping. He commonly addresses burnout, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, body image, and blended family tensions. Joshua blends client-centered listening with concrete behavioral steps so sessions feel practical rather than abstract.
When someone wants to start, he asks about current goals and what has helped in the past. From there he and the client pick small, doable changes and track progress. The emphasis is on making steady improvements that fit ordinary life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger.
Joshua treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment ideas, or a mix makes the most sense for the work ahead.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also suggest exercises and between-session tasks that fit everyday life, helping progress continue outside scheduled meetings.
