Getting to know Joseph Poyser

Hi there, I'm Joseph! My name is Joseph Poyser, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I earned my Master's in Psychology from Roosevelt University. My primary focus is working statewide in California via telehealth. I work with individuals and couples, emerging adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, life stage adjustments, and LGBTQ+ issues. I utilize affirming therapies and evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT to help reduce suffering and increase life enjoyment. My approach My approaches are always tailored to individual needs, whether it is a shorter skills-based focus or processing long-term effects of adversity or trauma. I tend to use methods that contextualize the current problems presented, assume you are doing the best you can with what you have been given, and identify areas of improvement with client input. CBT, Solution Focused, and DBT skills building are often helpful for identifying what values are most important to the client and what strategies we can use moving forward to assist with immediate increases in functioning. My focus My style and approach are often suited for emerging adults and middle-aged adults experiencing a variety of life transitions and mental health challenges as individuals or in relationships. As with many transitional experiences, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress often increase, and I enjoy helping clients navigate these experiences while providing coping strategies and encouraging continued growth on their new paths. I have specific training and focus on LGBTQ+ issues of transitioning, coming out, and navigating changing family dynamics. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathic, and affirming. I use humor and nonjudgment to build rapport quickly.
