Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello, I am glad you found us here at Better Help. Thank you for taking the first step by reaching out. Let me tell you a bit about myself, and if I seem to be a good fit for you, we can begin as soon as you would like.
My name is Josh Burke, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I have been providing psychotherapy for a wide variety of issues and populations for over seven years. I graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in 2013 with a Master in Social Work with a mental health concentration. For six years, I provided individual therapy to clients in the city of Rochester, NY, through their primary care offices. I have since moved out of the primary care office and are working as an Independent Therapist via telehealth and in-person consultations.
I would describe my approach to be goal-oriented and client/person-centered. I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Both modalities are engaging, practical approaches to problem-solving many concerns as they relate to stressors. ACT is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. The goals are to learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent oneself from moving forward in their lives. This helps people begin to accept their issues and hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives, and how they feel about it.
Difficult and unpleasant times are part of the human experience. I understand seeking help can be a vulnerable step to take. Exploring the healing process or enriching one’s personal growth, first and foremost, requires establishing a trusting and emotionally supportive relationship. Change is not easy, but it is possible.

Currently based in Vermont, Josh provides therapy through telehealth as well as in-person consultations. He is licensed to practice clinical social work in New York and holds an independent clinical social work license in Vermont.
His approach is goal-oriented and person-centered, drawing primarily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). These methods emphasize practical, action-focused strategies: ACT helps people accept difficult internal experiences while committing to values-driven action, and SFBT focuses on identifying solutions and building on existing strengths to address day-to-day stressors.
Josh recognizes that seeking help can feel vulnerable and believes the foundation of effective work is a trusting, supportive relationship. He aims to help people navigate change and move toward meaningful improvements in their lives.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A major benefit is convenience – clients can meet with their therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to schedule care and integrate sessions into a busy life.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people seeking help with everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an accessible and effective route to support and progress.
