About Joe
Joe Bray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, anger, relationship strain, and other life challenges listed in his profile.
He focuses on practical, straightforward work. Sessions look at what leads to repeated reactions - for example snapping at a partner or feeling flooded at work - and then try new ways of responding. He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to offer different options for change.
Joe pays attention to the role of culture, career pressures, and first responder stress in a person's day-to-day life. He also addresses process addictions such as porn, gambling, and compulsive exercise, and supports people dealing with infidelity and grief. His background includes nine years helping people sort through these kinds of problems.
In sessions he uses a collaborative tone. He listens to what matters most, tests out small changes, and checks what helps in real situations. The work aims to reduce stuck patterns and build more manageable routines for handling strong reactions.
Joe offers care in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform's matching and scheduling tools.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger shows up as unhelpful reactions or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools for changing patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses how emotional responses shape relationships and helps people notice and shift interaction patterns that escalate conflict.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. Joe will talk with each person about goals and what has or hasn't worked before, then try approaches that fit the issue and the person's preferences. He checks in as work progresses and adjusts methods based on what proves useful.
The profile does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and make follow-up check-ins easier to schedule. Online work can also allow for shorter, focused meetings or regular weekly sessions depending on the plan chosen, helping therapy fit into an everyday routine rather than replacing it.
