Founder & Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Joshua Johnson is the Founder and Licensed Clinical Social Worker of Radiant Truth Counseling, LLC, a counseling practice providing in-person services in Phoenix, Arizona, and secure telehealth services throughout the state of Arizona. With 17 years of experience in behavioral health and counseling, Joshua has developed a deep understanding of how trauma, crisis, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity concerns, chronic stress, and major life transitions can influence the way people understand themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.

​

Joshua believes therapy is about more than addressing symptoms. It is about creating a safe, meaningful, and clinically grounded space where clients can explore their experiences, understand their truth, reconnect with their inner strength, and engage in healing with greater clarity, courage, and compassion. His work is rooted in the belief that even some of life’s most difficult experiences can become opportunities for growth, restoration, deeper self-understanding, and transformation.

​

Radiant Truth Counseling began as a seed planted more than four years ago, born from a vision to create a therapeutic space where people could feel genuinely seen, supported, respected, and empowered to heal. What began as a vision has grown into a practice offering both in-person and virtual care, creating greater opportunities for individuals, couples, families, and adolescents to access compassionate and professionally grounded mental health services.

​

The name Radiant Truth reflects Joshua’s belief that every person carries light within them. Through healing, reflection, and meaningful therapeutic work, that light can help illuminate personal truth, strengthen self-worth, deepen relationships, and create space for renewed hope and emotional wellness.

​

As a clinician, Joshua provides counseling for individuals, couples, families, and adolescents navigating concerns such as trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, emotional regulation concerns, LGBTQ+ identity and wellness, men’s mental health, women’s mental health, perinatal mental health, pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, fertility-related stress, and significant life transitions. He is especially passionate about supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next.

​

Joshua’s therapeutic approach is integrative, collaborative, trauma-informed, and evidence-informed. His clinical work may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR-informed care, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, person-centered therapy, strengths-based practice, attachment-informed approaches, family systems theory, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and culturally responsive care. Treatment is individualized to the needs, goals, experiences, and strengths of each client, recognizing that meaningful healing does not follow a single path.

​

Joshua is also a PhD Candidate in Social Work, strengthening his commitment to continued learning, research-informed practice, ethical decision-making, and high-quality mental health care. His doctoral training further reflects his dedication to advancing emotional wellness, culturally responsive practice, trauma-informed treatment, and meaningful outcomes for the individuals and communities he serves.

​

In his work with couples, Joshua provides a balanced and supportive environment where partners can explore conflict, improve communication, identify recurring emotional patterns, rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and determine what healing and growth may look like within their relationship. Whether couples are navigating emotional disconnection, betrayal, communication difficulties, cultural differences, intimacy concerns, or uncertainty about their future together, therapy can provide space for greater honesty, accountability, understanding, and informed decision-making.

​

Joshua is also deeply committed to providing affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients and culturally responsive support for individuals and families whose experiences may be influenced by identity, culture, faith, community, relationships, and family systems. He recognizes that effective therapy requires more than clinical interventions. It also requires authenticity, respect, emotional safety, cultural humility, and a therapeutic relationship where clients can feel fully seen without judgment.

​

Ultimately, Joshua’s work is centered on helping clients move beyond simply surviving difficult experiences and toward greater healing, emotional wellness, connection, and purpose. Whether working with individuals, couples, families, or adolescents, his goal is to help clients better understand themselves, challenge unhealthy patterns, strengthen coping and communication skills, process painful experiences, improve relationships, and build lives that feel healthier, more meaningful, and more aligned with who they want to become.

​

At Radiant Truth Counseling, the work remains guided by a simple belief: your story matters, your healing matters, and your truth matters.
