About Steven
Steven Brokob is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and related concerns. He has 12 years of counseling experience and approaches sessions with calmness and practical focus. He aims to help people find clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping skills.
Steven uses a person-centered style that centers the client's goals. He listens without judgment and helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns. From there he works with clients to build emotional awareness and new habits that reduce distress.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness and acceptance approaches are used to teach ways to notice feelings without becoming overwhelmed. Dialectical and motivational methods inform work on emotion regulation and making positive changes.
Steven has a background in community mental health and crisis work, including evaluations done in emergency settings. He is familiar with substance-use concerns, trauma, mood disorders, and issues common to military veterans. That experience shapes a direct, practical approach to immediate concerns.
Sessions are structured around the client's priorities. He helps people identify symptoms, learn coping skills, and set achievable steps toward goals. The focus is on usable strategies you can try between sessions and adjustments that fit everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches delivered online
Steven combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and depression, helping people develop concrete coping skills. ACT teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while guiding people to act in line with their values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven will collaborate with each person to determine which methods match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed or adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to continue therapy around a busy life.
