Frank Joseph III, LPC

Frank Joseph III is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, or big life changes. He uses clear, practical steps so conversations feel useful from the first session.

He draws on about 11 years of counseling experience and has worked with people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to identity and discrimination. His background includes time as a high school counselor, which informed his work with adolescents and families before moving into full-time practice.

In sessions he keeps the tone warm and respectful. He listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. He uses straightforward tools to change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

Frank uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques. He also blends mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and stay present. Together these approaches help when someone is dealing with obsessive thoughts, mood swings, relationship conflict, or struggles at work.

He has additional focus areas including ADHD, bipolar concerns, OCD, and multicultural or veteran-related issues. He also supports people dealing with HIV/AIDS, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.

Frank aims to create a practical plan tailored to each person. He works with clients to identify obstacles, practice new skills, and track progress so therapy feels like steady forward movement.

Approaches that fit your schedule and goals

Frank uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and obsessive thinking. Client-centered therapy is another core approach where the person sets the pace and the therapist follows with empathy and support to build insight and self-direction. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple practices for staying present and reducing stress reactions, useful for coping with intense emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That way sessions focus on what matters most and adjust over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers a range of formats that make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people communicate in shorter moments during the day and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options support flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
