About Joseph

Joseph Hakim holds a master’s degree in clinical mental health from Hawaii Pacific University and brings six years of experience in the counseling field. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii and is also nationally board certified, with an additional certificate in substance abuse counseling that supports work with clients facing addiction-related concerns.

Hakim draws from a range of therapeutic techniques that are chosen to meet each client’s distinct needs. He often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help people explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. His approach is collaborative, aiming to identify and resolve underlying issues that may be blocking a fuller, more satisfying life.

Recognizing that reaching out for help can be difficult, Hakim aims to make the therapeutic process as approachable and comfortable as possible. He focuses on practical strategies while honoring each person’s experience and goals, and he invites interested individuals to connect when they are ready to begin work toward improved well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joseph Hakim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. He also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients are facing ambivalence about change - it focuses on finding personal reasons for change and building motivation in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hakim works together with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and the ability to connect from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain regular work with a licensed professional and to fit therapy into a busy life while still receiving focused, goal-oriented support.
