About Josh
Josh Holbrook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and ADHD. He focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk about difficult experiences and feel heard. Josh aims to make it easier to take the next step toward feeling better.
Josh draws on several practical methods in sessions. He uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
He also borrows tools from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and from attachment-based ideas to strengthen relationships and trust. Sessions tend to be straightforward and skill-focused. He began his work in community mental health and has experience supporting people with trauma, motivation difficulties, self-harm histories, and legal challenges.
That background gave him practice with a wide mix of life issues and coping needs. Josh describes his work as meeting people where they are and moving at a pace that fits them. Josh keeps current with approaches the state of Virginia recognizes as best practice and blends methods to fit each person's goals.
He often includes strengths-based and motivational techniques to help people build practical change. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies also appear when useful. He values clear communication and straightforward goals.
Josh invites questions and acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help. He aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting onward.
Practical approaches for online support
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in close connections and build more reliable ways of relating to others. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches ways to test thoughts and try small behavioral steps that reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Josh aims to find the right blend of these approaches for each person. He treats finding an approach as a team effort and adjusts methods based on the client's goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist check progress and change course together when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier on a busy day. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options make scheduling and continuing care more flexible for people with varied routines.
