About Joel

Joel Senor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and low self-esteem. Joel aims to work alongside clients to identify what drives difficult behaviors and to build on existing strengths.

He uses straightforward, practical conversation in sessions. Joel often helps clients notice patterns in their thinking and behavior, then tries different ways to shift those patterns.

Background and approach

He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when testing new thoughts and habits, and uses motivational techniques to encourage small workable steps. Joel also draws from Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help people tell the story of their life in a clearer way. That can uncover meanings that keep someone stuck and reveal alternatives they might try.

Sessions typically focus on concrete goals and on what a person can try between meetings. He works with issues like codependency, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. Joel pays attention to how emotions and choices interact so clients can practice different responses in daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. He provides a mix of check-ins, skills practice, and planning to support steady progress over time.

Online session options

How Joel’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Joel often uses Narrative Therapy, which asks people to tell the story of their life and notice the themes that shape behavior. Rewriting parts of that story can open up new choices and reduce shame or blame.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsive choices, and patterns linked to substance use.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Joel works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques in session and adjusting what’s used as progress or needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can fit a commute or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, brief coaching, or reminders about tools to try. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or treatment needs.
