About Joshua
Joshua Siskin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people regain rest and manage sleep-related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and life changes. He takes a practical, solution-focused approach. Sessions aim to highlight strengths and find steps that lead to better daily functioning and sleep routines.
He centers work on what will move a person forward rather than tracing every cause of the problem. Joshua looks for small, doable changes clients can try between sessions. He encourages people to build on their existing skills and inner resources to improve mood, coping, and sleep habits.
With 17 years of clinical experience in California, he has supported people facing depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, and ADHD among many other concerns. His background includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
Joshua speaks English and Hebrew and works with clients across different regions, including international clients. He commonly addresses challenges like caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, parenting strain, and difficulties with focus or emotional regulation that can affect rest.
His sessions emphasize clear goals, collaborative planning, and practical strategies that fit into everyday life. People who prefer direct, skill-based work that ties into better sleep and steadier mood may find his style a good match.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while moving toward what matters most. It can help with anxiety, sleep worry, and motivation to try new habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and supports practical changes in routines and thinking that often improve sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how they affect emotion and rest, useful when relationship stress interferes with sleep.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can mix strategies so clients practice skills that fit their life and their sleep goals.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that interrupts routines. For people working on sleep and rest, this flexibility can help keep consistent appointment times, test new evening habits between sessions, and use focused skill practice without rearranging a full day.
