About Joseph

Joseph Hansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with eight years of experience in mental health. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career doubts, and major life changes. He also offers coaching-style support for goal setting and motivation.

Joseph emphasizes practical, straightforward work. He listens first, then helps people identify small, doable steps. Sessions focus on real-life problems like workplace strain, feeling isolated, relationship communication problems, and managing panic attacks.

Background and approach

He draws on several approaches to shape his work. The Gottman Method guides how he addresses communication and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and act on their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change patterns that worsen anxiety and stress. Before becoming a therapist, Joseph spent 17.5 years in the United States Air Force, working in Security Forces and as a Readiness NCO. That experience shaped his focus on resilience, practical problem solving, and support for veterans and first responders.

Joseph leads with respect for each person’s story and strengths. He prefers clear goals and practical tools, while also making space for reflection. People looking for down-to-earth, skills-focused support often find his style a good fit.

Online support

How Joseph integrates therapy approaches online

Joseph often uses the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and rebuild trust in close relationships; this approach focuses on practical exercises and improved ways of talking and listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of relating and helps people understand how those patterns show up in current relationships and choices.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as goals change and new issues come up, so flexibility is built into the plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for working together. Video calls let people use visual cues and do exercises in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to get support between sessions or to share thoughts when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and situations.
