I find Joseph to be a very competent therapist. We’ve had two sessions now and due to my situation, he has been extremely flexible in fitting me into his schedule. He’s a very good listener and has a good grasp of what I’m going through in my marriage of 41 years, offering timely insights which have already made an impact in my life. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for help.

My name rhymes: Joey Dolowy and my main driver in life is to help people. I really like being of service and love my job. I have been professionally employed as a therapist in California since 1998 and have a great deal of personal/professional/life experience. I have specialized in the following areas: depression: anxiety: chemical dependency/addiction issues (which has been a life long search as a friend OD'D when I was 13 and I have spent the ensuing decades reading and learning about addiction and drugs) : self harm: teen issues: phase of life issues: bullying: self esteem/self image: grief and loss and of course marital issues. I will listen and I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to serve you. Finding a therapist can be complicated and I am simply here to help you: please contact me and let me start helping you. I specialize in providing sessions while hiking, biking, skating and even surfing. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am here for you: CHEERS.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
