Joshua Walpole, LCMHC

Joshua Walpole is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with seven years of experience supporting individuals and couples through trauma, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and relationship distress. He works extensively with people affected by addiction and betrayal trauma, helping them make sense of how difficult experiences shape feelings, behavior, and connection to others.

Joshua centers his practice on compassion, safety, and a curious exploration of the reasons behind thoughts and emotional patterns. He emphasizes that awareness combined with intentional action often leads to lasting change, and he helps clients develop practical skills for emotional regulation, boundary setting, and resilience while attending to how trauma affects the nervous system and selfhood.

His work draws from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, psychodrama, lifespan integration, and existential frameworks. Therapy with Joshua is collaborative and tailored to each person or couple, aligning interventions with individual goals, strengths, and life history. He aims to provide a supportive environment where insight, healing, and gradual growth can unfold.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Joshua uses several structured, research-informed approaches to support change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. Internal Family Systems explores the different parts of a person’s inner world to reduce internal conflict and improve self-leadership, which can be useful for trauma-related responses and compulsive behaviors. Lifespan integration focuses on reconnecting memories and present-day experience to reduce the ongoing impact of past events and support emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joshua works with clients to identify goals, strengths, and preferences, and then tailors techniques to fit each person’s needs. He frames therapy as a partnership where methods are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible options for receiving care from licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make scheduling easier, reduce travel needs, and allow clients to engage in therapy from familiar settings while maintaining regular access to their therapist.
