Joshua Siskin, LMFT

Joshua Siskin is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, relationship strain, trauma, grief, parenting pressures, ADHD, and related concerns. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps a person can try between appointments.

Joshua favors a forward-moving, solution-oriented style. He does not dwell on how problems began. Instead he helps people identify strengths they already have and practical actions they can take now. He aims for each session to leave a person feeling clearer and with at least one concrete next step.

He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build skills for managing strong emotions and impulses. He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to address values, connection, and patterns that affect relationships. Client-centered principles guide how he listens and responds in session.

Joshua describes his role as one that helps awaken a person’s desire to change. He encourages small, achievable goals and checks progress over time. People who want clear strategies for handling anger, reducing reactivity, or improving communication often find the approach practical and direct.

Sessions can also address related topics like sleep, eating, career stress, caregiver strain, and body image. He works in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
