Joshua Elledge, LPC

Joshua Elledge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and career stress. He speaks plainly and treats reaching out for help as a brave first step.

Joshua uses a collaborative, client-centered style. He treats people with respect and without judgment. He views each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to set realistic goals and take practical steps toward change.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and client-centered methods. In sessions he focuses on clear skills you can practice between meetings, like managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and increasing present-moment awareness.

Joshua has four years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential. He provides care to people located in Idaho and conducts sessions in English. His background includes helping people with issues such as codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Joshua aims to help people build coping tools they can use in daily life and to support steady progress at a pace that fits each person's needs.

Online approaches that teach skills and build values

CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. It often includes specific exercises and homework to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. ACT focuses on values and committed action while teaching mindfulness and acceptance skills to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

Client-centered work creates a listening, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person’s lead. That approach supports people who need to explore feelings, clarify goals, and build self-trust while other methods teach particular skills. Joshua will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of approaches fits best based on goals and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or fit shorter sessions into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so people can work on skills and values in ways that fit their routine and needs.
