About Steven
Steven Brokob is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, parenting strain, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other everyday struggles. He lists work with mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and military-related issues among his focus areas.
He previously worked in community mental health and spent several years at a crisis center doing evaluations in community settings and emergency departments. That background shaped his approach to acute concerns and high-stress situations. He also served in the United States Marine Corps and brings an understanding of veteran and military-related challenges.
In sessions he follows a person-centered style. That means he centers the client's own goals and strengths and keeps the conversation practical. He helps people notice thought patterns, link thinking to daily habits, and build simple coping skills that can be practiced between meetings.
He uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. Those tools are presented in straightforward terms and applied to things like sleep problems, anger, substance use, and work stress.
Steven also focuses on issues such as fatherhood concerns, first responder strain, money and financial stress, codependency, and feelings of isolation. He works with adults across a wide range of life stages and with many common life challenges.

How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking committed action in line with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems that come from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for mood, anxiety, sleep, and anger issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best. He combines person-centered listening with techniques from ACT and CBT to match goals, preferences, and the immediate concerns a client brings.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use exercises or worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to remote sessions so clients can practice skills in daily life and review progress with the therapist.
