Are the challenges of everyday life becoming too much to handle? Are you having problems with grief and loss, relationships, intimacy, physical illness or injury, or emotional health? When these struggles become overwhelming, you do not have to go it alone! My name is John David Joslin, LCSW. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker. With caring and compassion I will listen to your story, help guide you in better understanding your problems, and help you discover solutions. I am a social worker and health educator with over 36 years of experience helping clients to solve problems, find peace of mind and make a fresh start in life. Let me help you with your healing journey. The time to start is now!
I provide online psychotherapy for adults who are basically mentally healthy and who need guidance in handling the challenges of everyday life. Psychotherapy involves professional guidance in resolving conflicts and emotional problems by helping people make healthy changes in ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This is accomplished by using cognitive behavioral techniques and psychoeducation. I use problem-solving and mental health recovery models.
I have made a long journey to find my truth. I am still on that journey. I want to help you on your journey to find your truth.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Joslin is amazing. Speak to him. Experience the difference
Dr. Joslin helped me start my journey in exploring my gender identity. He was an incredible help and allowed me to grow into my identity at my own pace. He offered guidance and support that helped me when I most needed it.
Dr. Joslin has helped me quite a lot in the month we have been working together. He is a great listener who will guide you toward your own answers but also take the lead when you are stuck. He is teaching me to examine my thought patterns and to learn how to challenge negative thoughts and emotions. I enjoy working with him.
I really enjoy talking to Dr. Joslin. He makes me feel so much better about my life. He is a bright spot in any day or week.
Very informative, great listener who makes you analyze your behavior and how they affect you.
He's a very kind man and let's you vent what you need to vent and does not judge you for it.
Dr. Joslin has a sincerity about him..I've only had 3 sessions with him and each time i feel better about how long term therapy with him will improve my mental health. He is a great listener, especially when I ramble on in 10 directions at once lol..He offers just the right amount of advice, suggestions and positive reinforcement, while being completely open and honest. He's sweet, very insightful and down to earth..
Dr. Joslin is a great listener and gives me homework to stay on top of the things I want to fix!
I admire the help he is giving me and the feedback. I am confident he will help me get better over time
I love and appreciate the fact that my therapist takes the time to hear me out, support and understand me. As someone who’s always felt misunderstood, this has been a very beneficial experience for me!!! Definitely recommend therapy to everyone!
Dr. Joslin is a very kind and is great at listening and making you see a perspective you would not consider. I highly recommend him he's easy to talk to and is not judgemental.
David is absolutely amazing. He is extremely easy to talk to you and he makes you feel comfortable the moment you meet for the first time. He has decades of experience and aims to put you first! I highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone.
David is very patient and pleasant to talk with. He listens to your main concerns and helps guide you to finding answers without it feeling like you are being pushed or forced. He is also very relatable, with life experiences similar to mine that he is not afraid to share.
I think David is great. He always responds to my messages in a timely manner. I just began this process, and I already feel better. I can tell he cares about my well being, and he really wants to make a difference.
Thanks David, for being open and sharing your story as a glimpse to help me unravel my own story. The one session I know has put me in a better mood than I have been in and helped me to recognize what is my own steps I need to take. You are amazing - please don't change.
