About Joseph
Joseph Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with 17 years of experience. He works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma, and life transitions. He also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem, and bipolar-related challenges.
Hart uses several evidence-informed approaches in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current problems.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. He helps people set practical steps and learn skills they can use between meetings. When needed, EMDR techniques may be included to address traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
People often come when a major change has left them unsure what to do next. He works with common issues such as substance use, family of origin problems, commitment and communication struggles, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. He also supports those coping with aging or complex personality-related patterns.
Hart asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English in Tennessee and international clients are not accepted.

He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people struggling with intense feelings. When trauma is central, EMDR may be used to reduce the emotional charge of distressing memories.Choosing the right method is part of beginning work together. Hart will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the difficulties to decide which approaches to focus on. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
