About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma, and I have been working in the field since 2015. I obtained a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma in May 2015. I have worked with teenagers struggling with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations, and poor social skills. My approach blends techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy, and I am always researching new evidence-based techniques. I use a collaborative problem-solving approach to help my clients organize their concerns and brainstorm solutions. I can help you explore ways to make new friends, improve grades, and plan for your future. I will also help you develop creative ways to cope with stress and frustration.

I understand how difficult it is to seek help, and I'm proud of you for taking this big step. Well done!

I look forward to working with you!

Josh is very insightful, understanding, and intelligent. He lets you talk and only listens when you need to, other times he gives advice that’s extremely helpful. He’s emotionally intelligent and in tune with his clients. Highly recommended.

I’ve had a hard time talking to therapists in the past, but Joshua has made therapy very approachable for me. I walk away from each session with practical steps I can take to better my mental state, and with a better understanding of myself and how to manage the situations I’m faced with. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist.

Joshua Beavers has been an incredible outlet for me and for my wife to find help. He is caring and compassionate. We have been dealing with my cancer diagnosis for over 3 years and Joshua was the first therapist who we could feel fully understood.
Joshua is great at problem solving and working out issues.

Written on Jul 06, 2022 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety

I asked for a therapist that would challenge my thinking and Joshua Beavers has done this very well. Asking questions not only to understand your situation, but also to help you reconsider from a different angle. He provides a calm supportive environment to try and understand what your concern is, and in my case actionable steps to help move in a healthier direction.

My therapist listens to my concerns and helps me though things that sometimes I didn’t know I needed help though. His advice is on point and gets us thinking about different ways to approach certain issues in my life. I look forward to our weekly talks because it’s always nice to have someone to help work through difficult emotions.

Written on Feb 22, 2022 after therapy with Joshua for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

Joshua has been great. He has helped us hit our problems head on and refocus our attention on certain parts of our marriage. At first I felt like we weren't dealing with it, but in all reality we have been little, by little. We have even been able to add in other parts and he has congratulated us along the way on certain parts or things we have done that he wants us to know are really big deals. Sometimes I wish the were a bit more or a bit more deep, but this is the process, and his process and so far we are moving along well. Time is all it takes and a lot of talking!

Written on Aug 04, 2021 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks

I felt like Josh listened intently and then came up with a great plan to get us to where we want to be. I wanted more for my son than to just talk and he is doing just that with offering strategies and ways to change his perspective when he can’t change his circumstances.

Written on Jul 17, 2021 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, eating disorders, and career difficulties

Joshua is really good at asking what YOU want to talk about each session & not just assuming he knows. I started talking about anxiety, but then in a different session threw him a complete curveball of talking about motivation & weight loss - he was able to quickly adjust and was great! He really knows his stuff!

Written on Jul 14, 2021 after therapy with Joshua for 2 years and 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting issues

Joshua is a very helpful and insightful counselor. He listens to questions and problems and offers his advice on how to fix them.

I like the way Mr. Beavers does his therapy. It's very open, but he also makes me think about important questions with no pressure. He helps me feel heard when I realize things about myself and he helps me come to terms with those things too.

Written on Jan 20, 2021 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

I've loved the concrete tools that Joshua has given me!

Written on Jan 19, 2021 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning family conflicts, and sleeping disorders

From the first session, Mr. Beaver has been easy to speak with and digs deep to get you thinking about the "whys" that plague our actions and thoughts. He provokes vulnerable conversations in a respectful way and appropriately brings back conversations for clarity and to look at them from different perspectives. He is calming, makes great eye contact, takes great notes, and solicits deep and vulnerable conversations.

Written on Jan 13, 2021 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Joshua creates a comfortable experience and makes you feel free to open up and say the things that need to be said. This has been a very healing and enlightening experience for my partner and I. We look forward to continuing our sessions with Joshua through the teencounseling.com platform. It has been well worth our time and this investment into our relationship is providing a greater return than either of us thought possible.

Josh is an excellent counselor who strikes a perfect balance between being human and remaining professional. He helped me work through several complex issues in my marriage, and also helped me work through my grief and loss involving a close friend. He is well-researched, responsive, and truly cares for his clients. I highly recommend him.

This is, by far, the best counselor I have had! I have had many, but Joshua is the best. I’m continually amazed how engaged he is in our conversations and seems to really “get me,” and I’m not an easy person to get to know. I like how he offers sound advice and practical actions that can be taken. He really seems to meet you where you are in life and help you improve from there. Been seeing him for a brief time but has already made huge improvements in my life. Definitely recommend!!

Written on Jun 27, 2019 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes

Joshua Beavers is extremely receptive and understanding. He offers a lot of insight for situations and and how to handle them.

Written on Jun 02, 2019 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks

It’s only been a few weeks since I started working with Joshua Beavers, but I can already see massive changes in the way I look at my life and my feelings. He is big on positive reinforcement and focusing on what’s working for me, rather than spending the whole time focusing on the negative aspects of my mental health. He is quick to respond, very thorough, and incredibly encouraging. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about recovering from mental illness.

Written on May 24, 2019 after therapy with Joshua for 3 months on issues concerning relationship

Josh is sincerely the nicest human being I have ever encountered. He genuinely listens to our issues and concerns and always offers constructive ideas that could be helpful to us. He is very neutral in that he does not take sides in our issues but asks questions and helps to guide us through them. He is very attentive to our needs and very flexible with our schedule as well. I would recommend Josh to anyone.

Written on Oct 25, 2018 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks

Joshua has been great so far. I'm not a fan of counseling normally, but I can't deny the benefits of my sessions with him. I am genuinely feeling like a new person

Written on Oct 07, 2018 after therapy with Joshua for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career difficulties

Out of the diverse handful of therapists I've had sessions with, Joshua is the only counselor I've ever had who finds an effective balance between the extremes of "helpful, knowledgeable professional" and "just a person like me."

He is timely and well-worded with thoughtful responses, none of which have ever seemed mindlessly repetitious, irrelevant, or patronizing; The polar opposite of my past experiences in therapy in the best way possible.

Despite his fantastic use of the messaging features offered at teencounseling.com, I still suggest you opt for phone and/or video call sessions, as you will cover much more ground this way. Even if you normally have anxiety or social aversion surrounding these features as I do personally, I still highly recommend you at least give them a try. Not once in our conversation did Joshua's responses give me the impression I was being judged or scrutinized harshly, so I didn't feel the same tension I associated with face-to-face counseling. He does a remarkable job of making you feel at home.

In short, I couldn't have hoped for a better first experience with teencounseling.com.
