About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage everyday challenges and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He aims to help clients find practical ways forward so they feel better about themselves and life. Joshua uses a solution-focused style that centers on what can be done now rather than on how past problems developed.
He helps people notice and build on their existing strengths. Sessions are aimed at awakening motivation and reinforcing the skills clients already have. Joshua works in a direct, goal-oriented way while keeping the conversation grounded and practical.
With 17 years as a mental health professional, he has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. He also addresses issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Joshua lists a wide set of additional focuses including attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and body image.
Joshua draws from several clinical approaches when helping people change thoughts and everyday habits. He integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, and skills-based methods. He aims to match tools to the person’s goals rather than follow a single method.
Joshua practices in California and offers sessions in English and Hebrew. He accepts international clients and works with people who want practical, forward-moving help for life challenges.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it often uses practical exercises people can try between sessions. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people reshape expectations in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joshua will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and then use tools from these approaches to support change over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice new skills in their everyday environments and follow up on homework between meetings. Ask about session lengths and formats when scheduling to match therapy to daily routines.
