Joseph Kury II, LPCC

Joseph Kury II is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and related concerns. He also supports people coping with sexuality questions, jealousy, and the search for social connection.

He frames work as a practical conversation tailored to each person. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and what can change in daily life. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while keeping goals concrete and achievable.

Joseph uses approaches that emphasize collaboration and skill-building. He draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead, and he uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also incorporates mindfulness and dialectical skills when emotion regulation or intense stress are barriers to progress.

Over six years of experience inform his work with trauma, addiction, mood differences, attention concerns, and relationship challenges. He is familiar with a broad range of issues including gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, infidelity, hoarding, and sexual concerns, and he adapts plans to the problem at hand.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative plan, clear steps to try between sessions, and a focus on realistic change. The first step is choosing to reach out and begin the conversation about what to do next.

How these therapy methods translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, following a person's lead, and creating a safe space to talk. Online sessions using this approach prioritize what matters most to the client and adapt the conversation to current concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more effective ways of thinking and acting. In an online setting this often means setting clear homework, tracking progress between sessions, and using structured exercises together during meetings.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral skills over video or phone can make these tools easier to practice in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds helpful. Clients can expect to be part of deciding which methods fit their needs and preferences.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the profile. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily life is part of planning; online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can help tailor appointment length and frequency to match what will work best.
