Joshua Mondary, LMFT

Joshua Mondary is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with eight years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, rebuild confidence, and work through relationship and parenting challenges. Joshua emphasizes practical steps and respectful listening to support real change.

He sees clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on habits, thoughts, and everyday choices that shape mood and relationships. Joshua uses straightforward tools rather than jargon so people can try ideas between visits.

His approach blends several well known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more useful behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

Joshua also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past patterns influence current reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress. Together these approaches help with issues like depression, addiction, grief, and coping with life transitions.

Joshua works in California and conducts sessions in English. He encourages a collaborative pace and will help clients set goals that fit their daily lives. To start, he asks people to take a first step and reach out to arrange an initial session.

How Joshua’s approaches translate to online work

Joshua commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when helping people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve emotional balance.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to begin. That approach uses guided conversation to clarify values and build manageable goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process, and Joshua will work with each person to match methods to their needs and preferences.
