I specialize in supporting clients navigating depression, anxiety, communication challenges, boundary-setting, grief, and pregnancy loss, including miscarriages etc.
Serving Virginia and Maryland Virtually, I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and the impact of generational trauma. Many of my clients feel like the “strong one,” carrying emotional weight while struggling with overthinking, boundaries, and patterns they’re ready to break. I also work with adults and couples experiencing communication difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Clients come to therapy seeking relief, clarity, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Hi, I’m Dr. Josh Gonsher, a licensed clinical psychologist with a warm, down-to-earth approach to healing. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, worry, and stress—not by fighting their symptoms, but by creating a new internal landscape where those struggles no longer take center stage. My approach is grounded in Contextual Therapy. I don’t just help clients “fix” thoughts or behaviors—I work with them to build a more meaningful life, one where old patterns and problems naturally begin to lose their grip. It’s about shifting the frame, not just adjusting the picture.

I help individuals, caregivers, and couples facing illness-related stress, burnout, grief, role changes, communication strain, and emotional overwhelm.
Your relationship or marriage is being tested by serious illness, chronic conditions, or the demands of caregiving. You may feel exhausted from managing appointments, responsibilities, and emotional strain while trying to stay connected. Conversations can turn tense or shut down altogether, leaving one or both of you feeling unheard or alone. Intimacy may have shifted, roles may feel unbalanced, and resentment or guilt can quietly build. Even strong couples can feel lost at times—but beneath it all, you still want to feel close, understood, and on the same team again.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
