About
About Joseph
Joseph Setchel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 21 years in the mental health field. He practices in Florida and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep disruption, ADHD, and other life changes.
He trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stetson University and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from the University of Central Florida. After a two-year post-master internship and years of clinical work, he earned his counseling license in 2007. That background guides how he structures sessions and sets practical goals.
His practice is pragmatic and flexible. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on Existential approaches when larger life meaning and choice are central. He often mixes Client-Centered, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused methods to match the person in front of him.
Sessions aim to produce clearer insight and usable strategies. Typical outcomes people work toward include improved coping, clearer decision-making, better emotional regulation, and stronger day-to-day routines. Joseph emphasizes honesty, choice, cultural awareness, and straightforward feedback in sessions.
He encourages people to be realistic about change and to set measurable steps. If a person wants help managing temper, work frustration, resentment, or another concern, he focuses on practical skills and reflective work to reduce reactivity and build sustainable habits.
How sessions work
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and choices. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them notice options when they feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or anger. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding mindfulness practices, or using existential questions about values and meaning as needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific online delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, parenting, or travel. They also allow short check-ins, longer problem-focused sessions, or homework-based work without needing a commute. Licensed professionals commonly use these options to help clients apply strategies in daily life and keep momentum between visits.
