About Josh
Josh Steele is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with grief, addiction, or trauma. His style is warm and collaborative, and he aims to make the first steps toward getting help feel manageable.
He uses straightforward conversations to clarify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical skills and values-based goals rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Josh often blends techniques to fit how someone prefers to work and what they want to change. Over nine years of practice, he has supported clients through career stress, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood swings, and problems with anger and self-esteem. He also works with people tackling eating concerns and life transitions.
The goal is to create small, workable changes that add up over time. Therapy with Josh tends to be interactive. He listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps.
He draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive restructuring, and client-centered conversation to shape each plan. Appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Josh speaks English and practices in Washington as an LMHC.
To start, he asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled to match needs and timing.

Approach and online options for flexible care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward a meaningful life while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It is practical for stress, mood shifts, and many everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and supporting the client's own insights; it helps people feel heard and build confidence to find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josh collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when internet is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when flexibility is needed during a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other responsibilities while maintaining regular momentum toward goals.
