About Joseph
Joseph Frey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. He brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also works with people facing trauma, addiction, parenting challenges, anger, and career stress.
Before focusing on therapy, he spent time in military service, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship, and those experiences shape how he works with clients.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how past events and current routines interact, and he helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often involve looking at personal stories and testing small changes to see what helps in daily life. Joseph uses several approaches to help people move forward.
Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. EMDR is used as a tool for addressing traumatic memories when appropriate. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and build practical steps toward them.
He prefers a collaborative process that begins with clear goals. Together with the client, he outlines small experiments and skills to try between sessions. Over time, the aim is to reduce distressing symptoms and increase a stronger sense of agency and calm.
Outside work, he enjoys technology, sports, working out, and video games. His background in leadership and varied life experience informs a direct but supportive approach in therapy.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How narrative and trauma-focused work translate online
Joseph integrates Narrative Therapy and EMDR with a solution-oriented mindset to help people make changes through online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they fit a person’s goals better. EMDR, when used, focuses on reducing the charge of traumatic memories so they interfere less with daily life. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adapt based on what feels helpful. Goals, symptoms, and preferences guide which methods are emphasized, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support short updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity of care when schedules change.Common questions about this listing
