Joshua Flowers , LPC

Joshua Flowers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, and related challenges. He brings a relational, thoughtful approach that emphasizes authentic connection and curiosity about what is possible for each person's life.

He creates a compassionate space where a client’s story can unfold and where new insights and reconnections with parts of the self may arise. Over many years of practice he has integrated mindfulness skills with existential and somatic perspectives, finding that combining present-moment awareness with exploration of meaning and bodily experience can be transformative. He has practiced different forms of mindfulness for eighteen years and welcomes sharing these practices with clients.

Since 2002 he has provided counseling in a variety of settings, including a wilderness therapy program for adolescents, a drug and alcohol program serving incarcerated individuals, transitional housing for homeless Veterans, and community mental health work with Veterans and military families. He has maintained a private practice since 2015. His training includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) coursework and formal graduate study in counseling psychology. He also holds credentials as a Licensed Addiction Counselor in addition to his LPC credential.

Joshua notes that he is licensed in Colorado, and when working with individuals internationally he may serve in a consultant or coaching role depending on local licensing requirements. Outside of his clinical work he enjoys running, biking, writing, meditation, and travel, and he recently returned from living as an expat in Berlin for 1.5 years.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Joshua combines several evidence-informed approaches to meet individual needs. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for noticing thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present moment to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation - it can help with stress, anxiety, sleep, and coping with change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to process distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms; when appropriate, elements of EMDR are adapted to remote sessions to support trauma recovery. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, values, freedom, and responsibility - it invites exploration of life purpose, emptiness, and major transitions.

The therapist approaches treatment collaboratively and views finding the right approach as part of the work together. He will discuss options, adapt techniques to fit a client’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time so the therapy feels aligned with what the client needs.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel barriers, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver therapeutic techniques, skills practice, and supportive dialogue in ways that fit a client’s life and availability.
