Joshua Flowers , LPC

Joshua Flowers approaches counseling with a conviction that people can build meaningful lives even when faced with both joy and pain. He creates a compassionate environment where personal stories can unfold, and where clients can explore new paths toward wholeness and rediscover parts of themselves that may have been forgotten or blocked. He emphasizes authentic therapeutic relationships as the foundation for insight and change, offering a space intended to support healing and personal growth.

He has practiced various forms of mindfulness for many years and often shares these practices with clients. He integrates mindfulness with existential, transpersonal, and somatic or body-centered methods, finding that this combination can be transformative for people coping with stress, trauma, addiction, and life transitions. In 2016 he completed 50 hours of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training, adding a focused trauma-processing tool to his work.

His clinical background includes counseling adolescents in a wilderness therapy program, working with incarcerated individuals in a drug and alcohol program, supporting homeless veterans in transitional housing, and assisting veterans and military families in community mental health settings. He has maintained a private practice since 2015. Joshua is licensed in the state of Colorado as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and when working with individuals internationally he may offer services as a consultant or coach due to licensing requirements, which can limit his ability to assess, diagnose, and treat specific disorders in some jurisdictions.

Outside of practice, he enjoys running, biking, writing, and meditation, and he recently returned from living as an expat in Berlin, Germany for 1.5 years.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Joshua Flowers blends approaches that prioritize presence, processing, and practical skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s goals guide the work; it helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and building coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and the emotions tied to them, often used when past events continue to cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and awareness practices that help reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joshua works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from varied locations and on schedules that work for them. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of support during life transitions, travel, or busy routines, while preserving the collaborative relationship with licensed professionals and therapists.
