About Joseph
Dr. Joseph Lukas-Drouillard Hogan is a licensed social worker with two decades of practice. He holds LISW and LCSW credentials and offers talk-based support for stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
He is based in New Mexico and works with English-speaking clients, including international clients. He uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's experience first. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and move at their pace.
How Joseph works
He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep people stuck. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach is useful for issues like addiction, career shifts, and building new habits.
Across approaches he aims for clear, practical steps rather than jargon. His background includes work in inpatient psychiatric settings, substance use counseling, and long-standing independent practice work with older adults. He has experience in rural communities and at military medical sites in the region.
That range informs his flexible way of working with different life situations. Sessions may cover sleep problems, intimacy or sexuality questions, coping with loss, compassion fatigue, and identity or relationship concerns. He also offers support related to aging, hospice and end-of-life topics, first responder and veteran issues, and responses to disasters.
Treatment plans are shaped to each person's goals and context.

Online support options
How his approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center of the session. Online this means conversations are led by the client's priorities and pace, with the therapist reflecting concerns and asking questions that clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior. In remote sessions that can mean tracking sleep, moods, and behaviors between meetings and practicing new skills during check-ins. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build confidence to act; it works well for goals like reducing substance use or making career changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit best, and that choice can shift over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, homework, or on-the-go reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or caregiving routines and to keep momentum between meetings.
