About K.
Dr. K. Joseph "Joe" Wittemann helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and major life changes.
He brings 40 years of counseling experience to conversations about parenting, career transitions, relationship issues, and coping after trauma or loss. His name is Joe Wittemann and he uses practical, down-to-earth work to help people move forward. Joe describes counseling as a straightforward conversation.
He listens, asks clear questions, and helps people name the core concerns behind their struggles.
How K. works
Sessions focus on small, doable steps and on skills that people can use between meetings. He draws on many years working with adults in addiction recovery and on previous experience as a teacher and organizational consultant. That background shaped his focus on practical problem solving, coaching, and supporting people through change.
Joe emphasizes how thoughts and behaviors connect, and he teaches ways to notice thinking patterns and respond differently. He also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity. He believes each person has a sense of what will help them and works together with clients to set goals and track progress.
Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes so there is time to discuss concerns and practice new approaches.

Online support options
Using CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing what matters most and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when life changes feel overwhelming or when people feel stuck by painful thoughts and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Through short exercises and practical homework, it teaches ways to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety, depression, or anger.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Those practices pair well with thinking work when strong emotions make it hard to act on goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online visits offer flexible options. Video calls let people use visual cues for conversation and longer dialog. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
