More about Joe

  • 8 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

My name is Joe and I have been working as a counselor since 2011. I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) as well as a LCDC (licensed chemical dependency counselor). I graduated with my Master of Social Work from New Mexico State University in 2011. Throughout my career I have worked with many different populations, and I have worked with many individuals from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The majority of my therapeutic experiences comes from working in traditional outpatient settings where I see all ages of individuals, and all demographics. My style of therapy is warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and compassionate. I believe we have all the tools we need to reach our upmost potential, however sometimes we need help to guide us to tap back into ourselves and to find our true selves again.

I guide individuals through treatment with them in the driver’s seat! Together with the individual's input, we create a treatment plan. This plan is the blueprint for the treatment and the individual is the main contributor to the plan, and because it is a living document, it can updated, changed, etc. as needed. I am hopeful that I can be helpful for you! I congratulate you on this big step you are deciding to make!

Areas of specialty- Depression, Anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, career path, daily life challenges and struggles, general concerns, improving motivation, substance use, family relationships and concerns, and many more areas.

Therapeutic Interventions- Person Centered therapy, Solution focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Reality therapy, Mindfulness. Other methods I use are Motivational Interviewing, parts work, and Internal Family Systems.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I would highly recommend Joe Ayoub, as he has been nothing but warm, kind and empathetic towards me since our first session. He is a great listener, while also making sure to summarize what he is hearing from me and offering helpful suggestions pertinent to my personal situation. He is open-minded, positive and encouraging with his counseling techniques. I am very grateful that I was paired with him through BetterHelp. Thank you, Joe!
