About Joseph
Joseph Hansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Montana who focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. He brings eight years of clinical experience to his work and offers virtual support through video, phone, chat, and messaging. Joseph aims to help people find practical steps forward and rebuild confidence when life feels overwhelming.
He views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
How Joseph works
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to skills people can use between meetings. He also offers coaching-style guidance when clients want clearer plans for work or life transitions. Joseph draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and attachment-informed perspectives to tailor care.
He also uses client-centered and dialectical approaches when they fit a person's needs. These methods support concerns ranging from panic and post-traumatic stress to workplace stress and relationship communication problems. Joseph's background includes a long career in the United States Air Force, where he worked in Security Forces and as a Readiness NCO.
That experience shaped his emphasis on resilience, routine, and practical problem solving. He also serves on the board of a recovery organization, which informs his understanding of substance use challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and offered across Montana through multiple online formats.
Joseph encourages people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to see if his style feels like a good fit.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for panic, anxiety, and workplace stress. Attachment-Based approaches pay attention to how early relationships shape expectations and communication today, which can help with intimacy concerns, trust issues, and hurt from past relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joseph will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. He combines techniques rather than relying on a single model, and he adjusts plans as progress is made or needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and apply new skills in daily life.
