About Joseph

Joseph Frey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. He uses practical, direct methods to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. He aims to help clients set clear goals and take manageable steps toward feeling better.

Joseph draws on about ten years of clinical experience alongside earlier work in the military, corporate leadership, and business ownership. That mix shapes a focused, action-oriented approach in sessions. He explains problems plainly and helps people name the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

In the room he combines trauma-focused methods with solution-focused work and narrative approaches. He helps clients address traumatic memories when needed and also builds short-term strategies for reducing anxiety and improving mood. Sessions often include practical skills and conversations about how thoughts, feelings, and body states connect.

Joseph also helps people untangle patterns tied to attachment, codependency, abandonment, and family conflict. He supports work on compulsions, process addictions, panic, and self-harm by creating a plan that fits each person’s goals and pace.

Outside of clinical work he enjoys technology, sports, working out, and video games. He invites people to start by describing their main concern so they can build a clear plan together.

How EMDR and Solution-Focused Work Translate to Online Therapy

EMDR helps by guiding attention while you recall upsetting memories to reduce their emotional intensity. In a session this often involves focused eye movements or other bilateral stimulation paired with talking through the memory, which can help with post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma symptoms.

Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their stories and notice how those stories shape behavior and identity. It helps separate the problem from the person and is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and strengths to build immediate change and reduce distress.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor a plan. Some people start with short solution-focused work and move to trauma-focused methods like EMDR if past events need to be addressed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find this flexibility helps them maintain progress between sessions.
