About Joshua
Joshua Krebs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship strain. Joshua writes plainly and meets people where they are to figure out next steps together.
Joshua has worked in counseling settings with children, teens, and people in romantic relationships at different stages. He brings practical skills for communication problems, guilt and shame, and mood concerns.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth related stress and those navigating forgiveness work. Before counseling, Joshua spent 15 years in ministry and nonprofit roles. That background shapes his approach to pastoral and leadership stress, though he works with a wide range of people beyond ministry settings.
His formal training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Union University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University. In sessions Joshua mixes existential ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques. He helps clients name what matters, then practices small changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical so parents can try new approaches between visits. Joshua describes his work as collaborative and tailored. He supports parents dealing with family conflict, relationship shifts, and the practical pressures of raising children, helping them find realistic strategies that fit their life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Joshua often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building new habits through short, practical exercises. This approach helps with anxiety, mood challenges, and everyday parenting stress by giving clear tools to use between sessions.He also integrates existential perspectives which help people clarify values, find meaning in difficult changes, and make decisions that align with what matters most. That work can be useful for parents facing major life shifts or role changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joshua will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, circumstances, and preferences. He adjusts pacing and homework so it feels manageable for busy parents and caregivers.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging let people check in between meetings, and text-based exchanges are good for brief updates or shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to fit counseling around school runs, work breaks, and varied schedules.
