Joseph Kury II is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with six years of professional experience.

He also works with individuals who have struggled to find supportive communities or groups that accept them for who they are.

Joseph emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in his work, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs. His LPCC credential indicates specialized training in clinical counseling and the ability to provide evidence-informed therapeutic care in Ohio. He approaches the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative effort, helping clients explore options and build skills that fit their goals and circumstances.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often takes courage, Joseph affirms the importance of that first step and encourages clients to acknowledge their progress along the way. He aims to create a welcoming space where practical strategies and personal values are balanced to support meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Joseph uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful and empathic space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, validating experiences, and building a collaborative relationship that supports self-directed growth.

He also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive techniques and behavioral experiments aim to produce measurable improvements in daily functioning.

Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT skills can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Joseph works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not feasible.
