Josh Steinberg, M.A.

Joshua Steinberg, M.A. is a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at Harvard University working under the mentorship of Professor John R. Weisz. Originally from the Greater Boston Area, Josh graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Pennsylvania in 2022 with a B.A. in Psychology prior to joining the Lab for Youth Mental Health.

Josh’s research, supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, focuses on designing and evaluating scalable interventions to improve mental health outcomes for youth, particularly those targeting internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression. He is especially interested in how technology—such as light-touch digital programs and AI-powered tools—can be used to increase access to evidence-based care and supplement usual clinical care by providing opportunities to practice therapy skills in between face-to-face sessions.
