“My experience with Josef was amazing, he really knows how to make you feel comfortable without any pressure. Great listener and seems to really care about getting to the root of an issue.”

“Unfortunately due to multiple changes to my health insurance and multiple different therapists, I finally found Josef Smith at Remnant. Immediately felt comfortable with him. Our mental health system is completely broken in the United States, with legislators favoring sex changes over other mental health issues. I now have to find a 4th therapist due to insurance not being accepted. This is a quick microcosm of how broken our mental health system we have. Guns kill people, not mentally unstable people. A 7 year old can decide to change from a boy to a girl and participate in girls sports, but that isn’t considered a mental health problem. Our mental health system needs a serious overhaul so more terrible tragedies are prevented, instead they are being blamed on inanimate objects and not mentally ill persons. But a man struggling with severe anxiety, depression and PTSD after being the victim of a failed murder attempt by his “wife” is completely forgotten about because he is a man..sad”

Getting to know Josef Smith
I’m Josef E. Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). After a fruitful 22-year career in the U.S. Army, I finished my education with a Master’s in Social Work (emphasis in Military and their families) from Waden University. I have 5 years' experience working in outpatient and crisis settings in a rural community. I use a multitude of modalities to help people overcome the stressors and stigma of mental health challenges. I use a trauma-informed approach to every situation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer both Christian Counseling as well as traditional (non faith-based) therapy. My passion is helping people realize their own value and resilience. With a holistic approach, including the dynamics of spirituality with a Biblical approach, and the importance of one’s faith, it is my experience that we can and do heal. Mental health challenges are especially unique when they involve trauma. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). One of the most clinically effective treatments for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma related stressors. Remember you “are fearfully and wonderfully made”! (Psalm 119:14)
What is your typical process for working with clients?
All clients begin their work with me by attending weekly sessions, virtually, via our video platform. Over time and with progress, the need for frequency of treatment may decline to every other week or monthly but would only be considered after a considerable amount of time in weekly treatment.

Working with my therapist has been incredibly helpful I feel like I’ve been given concrete, practical steps to take rather than just talking in circles. Each session leaves me with clear strategies I can use right away to handle the areas where I struggle. It’s made me feel more supported, empowered, and capable of finding real solutions in my day-to-day life. I highly recommend working with Josef!

Josef has been an amazing support in my counseling journey. He has provided me with the coping skills that I needed to help me through some very difficult times. He is always very supportive and is willing to give life advice when needed. Highly recommend!!!

Although our first meeting was very tough for reasons beyond his control, he kept his cool and tried to facilitate conversation in a constructive and godly way. We greatly appreciate his care and insight.

Honestly I think I found the right person at the right time. He is so knowledgeable & compassionate for the work he does. I was nervous for a male figure at first but honestly he’s changed my whole perspective on therapist & going to therapy. After just a few sessions I am already so motivated to come back & continue to grow.

It's only been my first session, but I really feel confident that my new therapist will give us the tools we need to become better as a whole.
