About Joel
Joel Senor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and addictions. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Joel focuses on the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and encourage practical changes. He also brings motivational interviewing and narrative approaches when they fit the client's goals.
In session Joel talks through concrete steps clients can try between visits. He helps people notice strengths they already have and uses those strengths to reduce impulsivity, manage guilt and shame, and improve communication. He also supports people working on codependency, forgiveness, and life purpose.
His work covers drug and alcohol addiction and related challenges. He aims to break cycles that lead to repeated problems and to build better coping for life changes. The focus stays on real-world actions rather than abstract theory.
Joel describes his method as adaptable - he selects techniques that match the client’s needs. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort, using practical tools from DBT and solution-focused ideas when helpful. If you prefer a short plan or a longer process, he will work with you to find what fits.

Approaches used in online sessions
Joel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy during sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s own goals to build motivation and clearer choices.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when impulsivity or intense emotions are present. DBT skills teach practical methods for managing strong feelings and improving emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT exercises, adding motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change, or using narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let clients choose audio-only or video depending on what helps them engage during the work week.
