Joseph White is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood challenges. He works with concerns such as depression, anger, trauma, grief, relationship strain, intimacy issues, and the everyday pressures of work and family life. Joseph speaks English and practices in Ohio.

He takes a practical, straightforward approach in sessions. He uses client-centered methods to listen and build on each person's goals. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and on Motivational Interviewing to support change when substance use or motivation is a concern.

Joseph earned a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University in 2018. He has worked for eight years with adults, adolescents, and children in clinical settings. That experience includes supporting people through trauma, substance-use issues, and mood disorders.

In a typical session he prioritizes clear steps and small goals. He focuses on skills that can be used between sessions, such as coping tools for anxiety and strategies to manage mood swings. He also helps clients address workplace stress, feelings of isolation, and challenges around self-esteem.

People who want direct, goal-oriented conversations may find his style useful. He invites clients to set the pace and to focus on practical changes that match their life and needs.

How Joseph’s approaches work in online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on what the client brings to the session. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when people want a respectful, paced conversation about their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress-related symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. It uses guided questions and reflective listening to boost motivation, which can be helpful for substance-use challenges and making lasting changes.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches the client’s needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use techniques from these approaches in remote sessions to practice skills, set goals, and track progress over time.
