About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 17 years of experience. He focuses on helping people find practical ways forward when life feels stuck. Joshua emphasizes strengths and skills people already have and works to bring those resources into each session.
He uses a solution-focused stance that prioritizes change over tracing past causes. Sessions center on clear, achievable steps the client can try between meetings. Joshua aims for people to leave feeling a bit better and with tools they can use right away.
His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping troubles, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and codependency. He also provides support around abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and kink-affirming topics.
Joshua draws from several therapy styles to fit each person’s needs rather than sticking to a single method. He blends approaches to help clients build new habits, manage emotions, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented.
He offers work in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Joshua uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and grief because it focuses on what matters most rather than getting stuck on feeling better immediately.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. This approach helps people understand and change the ways they reach for closeness or pull away, which can be useful for intimacy and codependency concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joshua will work with each person to pick or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set small goals and test what helps between meetings so progress is practical and measurable.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting sessions into a busy week, keeping appointments during travel, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment work to the online setting so clients can practice skills and reflect between sessions.
