Joseph Grossman , LCSW, CSW

Joseph Grossman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, and parenting pressures. He works with adults who want clearer direction, stronger relationships, or better ways to cope when life changes feel overwhelming.

He draws on 15 years of clinical experience in Colorado and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Meetings focus on what matters to the person in front of him - everyday problems, decision points, and how to act on values rather than just talk about them.

Joseph uses tools from acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive behavioral work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. He also brings client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas into the room to strengthen connection and emotional awareness.

People come to him for help with grief, addiction concerns, family and communication problems, career transitions, chronic illness strain, and issues around self-esteem and body image. He also supports those dealing with trauma, bipolar mood swings, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He guides people to set clear goals, test small changes, and build skills they can use day to day. Joseph explains options, listens carefully, and adapts his work to each person’s needs and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes identifying and expressing emotions to improve connection and reduce relationship distress, and it can help people strengthen bonds and process difficult feelings.

Joseph approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. Finding the right fit is part of the work rather than a one-time decision, and he invites questions about how methods feel in practice.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video works well for longer sessions and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing. These options let people meet from different locations and maintain continuity during life transitions.
