About Joshua
Joshua Tidwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. He focuses on practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Joshua speaks English and accepts international clients.
He brings eight years of counseling experience across independent practice and intensive behavioral health settings. That background means he is used to working with complicated situations and layered problems. He aims to listen first and then offer straightforward tools clients can use between sessions.
How Joshua works
Joshua uses a trauma-informed, collaborative style. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding steps that feel doable. He emphasizes emotional regulation, coping with burnout, and repairing communication patterns that contribute to family and relationship strain.
Common concerns he addresses include depression, anxiety, family problems, and issues tied to identity and self-worth. He also works with topics such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, gender dysphoria, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Joshua helps people talk through these matters and find clearer next steps.
In short, Joshua offers practical, respectful care aimed at helping people regain steadiness and move toward the life they want. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Evidence-based techniques and online access
Joshua works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on trauma-informed care and practical coping skills. A trauma-informed approach means recognizing how past experiences affect current reactions and helping people build skills to respond differently. This helps with persistent anxiety, reactions to abuse, and reclaiming a sense of stability.He also teaches emotional regulation and stress-management skills that are concrete and manageable. These techniques involve learning ways to calm intense feelings, organize thoughts, and use daily routines to reduce burnout and overwhelm. They are useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, ongoing contact for brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
