About Josh

Josh Steele is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who practices in Washington. He offers a calm, collaborative style and aims to help people find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming. Josh meets people where they are and works with them to identify practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Josh pays attention to how everyday routines and choices affect mood and functioning. In sessions he keeps the tone supportive and engaged. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to each person and on small changes that can lead to real improvement.

He uses listening, questions, and collaborative planning rather than long lectures. Josh draws from Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches guide how he structures sessions and sets goals, but the work is shaped by each person’s needs and values.

With nine years of clinical experience, Josh aims to make therapy practical and understandable. He invites clients to talk through their concerns, try new ways of responding, and build skills that fit their daily life. To begin, he encourages a straightforward conversation about goals and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Josh uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories they may be carrying. This approach looks at the stories you tell about yourself and makes room for alternative narratives that fit your values and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and then practices small changes that change how you feel. Josh treats approach selection as a collaborative process. Together you will try ideas, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits your needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you want to be off camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching moments, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
