Hello, I am Joseph Youngblood, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a former licensed clinical addictions specialist in North Carolina. I am retired from the US Navy and have traveled over much of the world while in the military and as a civilian learning to value differing cultures and views of the world. I have over thirty year’s clinical experience while working with military and civilian populations in the United States, Europe, and Asia. My approach to therapy is founded in Gestalt (Wholeness) and Individual Psychology theories. I am, however, educated, trained and experienced in many philosophies of personality development and treatment. I provide Mental and Behavioral health care for Depression; Anger; Phobias; Anxiety; PTSD; Stress Management; Relationships; and Family issues. I am a recovering alcoholic with over 40 years clean and sober, so I also provide counseling for Substance Abuse issues. For the past 16 years I have worked as a Military and Family Life counselor helping military families work through relationship struggles while coping with the stress of the ever-changing environment of military life during a time of war.

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.
