I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience and am licensed in both Louisiana and Georgia. Deciding to reach out for help can be one of the most challenging and important decisions an individual can make. I believe that developing a warm and trusting therapist-client relationship paves the way for a productive and effective counseling experience. Whether we are addressing the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, sexuality, or grief working from the perspective of a nurturing client-centered perspective makes it possible to openly and honestly address even the most difficult issues. I frequently draw from Resilience, Mindfulness and Positive Re-positioning theories to help clients find rapid relief from feelings of loss, loneliness, fear, frustration and conflict. I have extensive experience working with culturally diverse populations and have developed competencies in several Evidence Based Practice Protocols including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Illness Management and Recovery, Living in Balance and Imago Relationship Therapies. Additionally, I have extensive experience in working with individuals seeking to develop advanced leadership skills, and those seeking to improve their functioning with the context of organizations.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Joseph Bodenmiller. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been in and out of therapy since I was 9 in 1989. Never have I ever had a counselor as amazing as Dr. Bodenmiller. The most compassionate person I’ve met, and yet, he won’t fall for your bullshit. He won’t call you out, he’ll help you call it out for yourself. I can say, without a doubt, I’m a better version of me today through his guidance and empathy.
