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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
