Joshua Siskin

Joshua Siskin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy struggles. He aims to help clients notice their strengths and find practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that make daily life more manageable.

Joshua takes a solution-focused stance. He spends less time on why a problem began and more on what can be done next. He helps people identify skills they already have and build new ones to meet current challenges. The tone in sessions is direct and encouraging, with attention to concrete results.

With 17 years of experience, Joshua draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused ways of understanding relationships. He also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior methods when they fit the situation.

Joshua works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar management, and career stress. He also addresses areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, body image, and codependency.

Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and he accepts international clients. Joshua’s practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Joshua uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match their values. This approach can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns affect emotional reactions and closeness. This can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joshua treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. He adapts techniques to each situation rather than relying on a single method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking because they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, keep shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use approaches like ACT and attachment-focused work in everyday contexts, practicing skills between meetings to see what helps most.
