Joshua Mondary, LMFT

Joshua Mondary is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction concerns. He works with people coping with grief, trauma, anger, career shifts, and major life changes. Joshua speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps.

He begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Joshua uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and short-term goal work to break big problems into manageable steps. Sessions include gentle reflection and concrete skills to try between meetings.

Joshua values collaboration. He invites people to set goals and checks in on progress often. When motivation is low he uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find reasons to change and small doable actions.

He also brings attention to patterns from the past that still affect daily life and relationships. That perspective comes from psychodynamic ideas that help connect present problems to earlier experiences. The overall focus is on what helps now and what will make life better going forward.

Joshua holds an LMFT credential and practices in California. He has eight years of clinical experience supporting people through common and complex struggles. He prefers clear, honest conversation and practical tools that fit everyday life.

Approach and online care that fit your life

Joshua commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping during life transitions. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help people with stress, anger, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joshua will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve, then recommend strategies and check in regularly to adjust the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep up with work on goals between appointments.
