About Joseph
LCP Dr. Joseph Proctor has 23 years of clinical experience in Illinois and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He works with adults who want clearer coping skills, better emotional control, or help managing problematic behaviors. Sessions are offered in English and follow established therapeutic approaches listed below.
Dr. Proctor uses practical conversation and skill-building in sessions. He treats addiction-related problems, communication struggles, and the low mood or worry that makes daily life harder. He approaches work with straightforward tools drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered methods.
In the room he emphasizes identifying useful actions and testing small changes. That can mean learning new ways to handle urges, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or practicing emotional regulation strategies. He also helps people sort through relationship conflicts, codependency, or issues that follow separation and divorce.
He has additional experience with aging and geriatric concerns, intellectual disability, cancer-related issues, and personality-related problems such as avoidant or antisocial patterns. Those areas shape how he adjusts pace and goals for each person.
Practical matters like scheduling and costs are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through simple exercises and real-world practice. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and builds sessions around their experience and goals rather than a set agenda.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their concerns, goals, and how they prefer to work. That decision can change as the sessions progress and as needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering alternatives for people who prefer not to use video. A first session and the short matching questionnaire are used to set goals and agree on how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.
