About Josalyn
Dr. Josalyn Ice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 22 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and family and parenting strains. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of mood and stress-related issues.
She uses a straightforward, interactive approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindful practices to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
Dr. Ice also integrates trauma-focused strategies and motivational interviewing when relevant. That means sessions can include careful work on painful memories and on finding realistic ways to change habits. She pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin and relationship history when those affect current stress.
Parents and caregivers often come to her for help with anger, burnout, postpartum mood changes, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. Practical problem solving around money, life purpose, and role changes is part of the work she offers.
Her style aims to be engaged and direct. Clients can expect collaborative planning, short-term skill work when appropriate, and ongoing review of progress. To start, she asks about current struggles, priorities, and what a reasonable first step would look like.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what is most important to the client and shape goals around those priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often uses structured conversation, simple assignments, and brief skill practices to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy involves careful, paced work with traumatic memories and their ongoing impact. Delivered remotely, this work emphasizes clear pacing, grounding techniques, and checking in about comfort and readiness before progressing.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process lets clients test practical tools and stop or change direction when needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, using shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choosing sessions that do not require travel. These conveniences help make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy week.
