About Josh
Josh Holbrook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with three years of post-licensure experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and related concerns.
Josh draws on straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions. He uses cognitive behavioral methods alongside elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings, and on building day-to-day strategies for sleep, mood, and focus.
His background includes years in community mental health. That work exposed him to a wide range of challenges, including significant trauma, self-harm, legal difficulties, and complicated grief. Those roles shaped his habit of helping people find concrete tools when life feels overwhelming.
In session Josh aims for open, direct conversation about what is bothering someone now. He checks goals and adjusts techniques as things change. Expect work on thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills rather than long lectures about theory.
He also integrates attachment-based and existential ideas when they help clarify relationships and meaning. That can look like talking about how past connections affect current stress or exploring values when making a life change. He keeps interventions practical and focused on what helps in daily life.
To begin, readers should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site steps to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. Josh practices in English and lists Virginia as his location.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions. In an online session this can mean talking through patterns that come up with partners or parents and practicing different ways to respond. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying short behavioral experiments, and tracking changes between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Over the first few sessions you can adjust the mix of techniques based on what feels most useful and practical for your life.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and focus on homework that applies to home life. Many people find doing CBT exercises or practicing DBT skills between sessions works well with remote appointments, but check the platform to see which session types are offered before you schedule.
