Joseph Hansen, LCSW

Joseph Hansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Montana with eight years of experience in mental health. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career struggles, and major life changes. He also offers coaching for motivation and practical problem solving.

He uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based methods to help people make changes that matter in daily life. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, like behavior experiments, values-based decision making, and clearer communication. Joseph emphasizes practical steps rather than long explanations.

Joseph draws on nearly two decades of prior military service in the United States Air Force. That background shaped his approach to structure, responsibility, and adapting under pressure. He also has experience working with issues common to veterans and first responders.

His clinical work includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used to address problems like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, workplace strain, relationship communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

Outside clinical hours he has served in leadership roles with a nonprofit focused on recovery. That work informs his view of long-term change as a step-by-step process. People who see him can expect practical planning, skills practice, and straightforward feedback to help them move forward.
