About Josh
Josh Holbrook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He also supports people facing grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, attention challenges, and career or parenting stress. Josh aims to create a calm space where people can speak freely and feel heard.
He trained in community mental health and spent years working with people facing a wide range of problems, including significant trauma and legal difficulties.
Background and approach
That background gave him practical experience with crisis-related care and ongoing life challenges. Josh uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. He primarily draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, and often incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based approaches.
Sessions focus on skills you can use outside of therapy as well as understanding patterns that maintain distress. He values collaboration and treats each person as an individual. Josh works at a steady pace that fits the person in front of him, offering both short-term strategies and longer-term planning when needed.
He pays attention to motivation and to building useful coping tools. Josh has three years of professional experience and holds an LPC credential. He provides services in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair you and then you can schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Josh commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Attachment-based approaches focus on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, self-worth, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Josh will discuss your goals and tests different tools to see what fits. He aims to adapt techniques to your needs and preferences and will collaborate on a plan you can try between sessions.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls let you work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coping reminders, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting into daily life.
