About Joseph
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and LPC-MH in Wyoming and South Dakota, Rev. Joseph Bair has six years of licensed mental health experience plus additional pastoral counseling work. He focuses on addictions, grief and loss, relationships, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Joseph uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy in his practice.
Joseph aims to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental setting where people can name and share difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize clear discussion and practical steps rather than jargon. He encourages honest conversation about what’s causing distress and what the person wants to change.
In working on addictions and grief, he combines practical skills with reflective questions. That can mean learning behavior steps to reduce harm and using values-focused work to identify what matters most. For relationship and anger concerns, he helps people notice patterns and practice new ways of responding.
When self-esteem or life transitions are the issue, Joseph draws on existential ideas to explore meaning and on client-centered listening to follow the person’s priorities. He also uses CBT and DBT strategies for coping skills and emotional regulation.
He asks people to be active partners in therapy - setting goals, trying techniques between sessions, and reviewing progress. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small committed actions toward them. It is often used when life changes or grief makes direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms. CBT is commonly used for anger, self-esteem, and addictions when specific skills are useful. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to help people find their own solutions. This approach supports emotional processing and decision making. Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. Clients are invited to try skills between sessions and to review progress so methods can be changed when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or remove travel time. When practical, online work supports skills practice in daily life and regular follow-ups without requiring a commute.Sheet 3
