About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 17 years of experience. He focuses on helping men and others facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. He aims to draw out clients' strengths and practical resources so they can feel steadier after sessions.
Joshua uses a forward-looking, solution-focused approach. He concentrates on concrete steps people can take now rather than dwelling on how problems began. Sessions emphasize real skills, clearer choices, and small shifts that add up over time.
Clients can expect a direct, collaborative rhythm in the room. The therapist highlights what already works for each person and coaches toward achievable goals. He supports work on issues such as sleep, eating concerns, intimacy-related problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Over his career Joshua has also addressed complex areas like trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment issues, adoption and foster care topics, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He integrates practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-oriented practices to help people manage symptoms and make everyday life feel more manageable.
Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and he accepts clients in California and international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences, and then tailor methods collaboratively. Sometimes one approach fits best; other times methods are mixed to match the client's needs.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make shorter check-ins more manageable or reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving.
