Joseph Kury II

Joseph Kury II is an Ohio licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and identity concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps less overwhelming for someone starting therapy. His approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and practical help for day-to-day struggles. Joseph frames sessions around each person’s needs rather than a fixed agenda. He uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to the client. From there he may draw on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing intense emotions and reactions. He has six years of professional experience working with people coping with shame, guilt, trauma, and the search for community. He also supports people navigating sexuality, gender dysphoria, HIV or AIDS concerns, and complicated endings such as grief and hospice and end-of-life issues. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and small steps that fit into real life. That might mean learning grounding skills, changing a behavior pattern, or practicing new ways to set boundaries and connect with others. He avoids jargon and keeps conversations practical. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he acknowledges that. Joseph will tailor the plan and pacing to each person’s situation, helping build skills and confidence over time.

How Joseph’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals and values. Online conversations can reproduce that by giving space to talk through what matters and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. In an online session this often means practicing skill-based exercises together and assigning short at-home tasks to test new ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These concrete skills can be practiced in remote sessions and then applied between meetings for more immediate relief from intense feelings.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about current struggles, goals, and preferences, and together they will try techniques that match those needs. If something doesn’t fit, they will adjust the plan and pace to make therapy useful and manageable.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone attend from a quieter space. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to focus on practical skills, emotional coping, and problem solving without requiring an in-person visit.
