Joshua Gonsher, LCP — Therapist in Maryland

Hi there, I'm Joshua!

I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety and build more confidence, clarity, and connection in their lives. I offer practical, science-backed support with a down-to-earth approach that leads to lasting change.

My focus

Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? I specialize in anxiety and emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating stress, burnout, or tough life transitions, I offer compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to you. Let's get you feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control.

My approach

When we have problems, it's often because our assumptions no longer serve us. I employ a cognitive approach to help you create a new context where these problems can no longer exist. I base my practice on your personal needs; reaching your goals is my primary focus, so every session is different.

My communication style

I value clear, open communication to create a supportive, empathic environment. I listen actively and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences. I move sessions forward by asking clarifying questions, and you can expect me to be calm, patient, and firm.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to feel more effective in the help I provided, so I pursued psychology. I've had the privilege of working with all types of people and discovered how important therapy is in their mental health journey. I believe everyone can change and grow, and I'm honored to be part of this process.

My goals for you

I believe you have what you need to succeed, but sometimes you don't see it or trust that you can access these tools. I provide the support and tools you need to continue moving closer to where you want to be, even when it feels challenging.

Our first session

Our first session begins with the question: What would you like to have happen as a result of our working together? I believe we can jump into therapy as soon as we meet. Waiting too long just prolongs the agony.
