About Joseph

Joseph Frey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado who emphasizes trauma-focused care and practical change. He integrates EMDR with narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people move past painful memories and rebuild daily functioning. He brings a direct, goal-oriented style to sessions.

He helps people name clear goals, notice the thoughts that get in the way, and practice new ways of coping. Sessions often include talking together, structured exercises, and steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

Joseph draws on a long and varied background. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. Before full-time clinical work he spent years in the military and in corporate leadership, and he also ran his own business.

That mix of experiences shapes how he works in therapy. He tends to be straightforward and focused, and he encourages active participation from the person he is meeting with. He pays attention to how the body and mind interact and uses that understanding when addressing trauma and anxiety.

Joseph works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, anger, and career challenges. He also supports people facing attachment concerns, codependency, dissociation, eating-related issues, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, and process addictions. His approach is flexible.

He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and lifestyle, then adjust as progress is made.

Online support

How EMDR and Narrative Work Online

Joseph commonly uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people process distressing memories; in practice this involves guided attention shifts combined with focused recall to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. Narrative Therapy is also used to help people tell the story of their experiences differently, separating them from unhelpful labels and building a clearer path forward.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, past efforts, and current needs, then recommend approaches that fit the person’s situation. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear, keeping the process collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets the therapist and client use visual cues and longer conversational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, and written steps between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
