About Josh
Josh Holbrook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with three years of post-licensure experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, addictions, ADHD, grief, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping people manage daily problems and strong emotions.
Josh draws heavily on cognitive behavioral therapy, while also using elements from dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered and attachment-based approaches, and existential ideas. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when they fit the situation. Expect a mix of talking through patterns, building concrete skills, and trying small changes between meetings.
His background includes work in community mental health, where he supported people with significant trauma, legal difficulties, and complex life stressors. That experience shaped his focus on evidence-informed methods and practical problem-solving. He stays current with treatments recognized as best practice in Virginia.
In sessions Josh pays attention to how relationships and life meaning affect mood and behavior. He helps people notice thinking and behavior patterns, test new ways of responding, and develop coping tools for anger and frustration. Homework and simple skill practice are used when helpful.
Josh describes his style as straightforward and goal oriented. He welcomes questions about the process and encourages prospective clients to ask about how his approaches would apply to their situation.
How sessions work
How Josh uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape responses to stress and anger. Online sessions can use this approach to highlight patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anger going and then testing small changes. CBT exercises can include tracking triggers, trying new responses, and reviewing what worked in the next meeting.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Josh will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. He often blends techniques and adjusts them over time based on what helps the person manage reactions and handle everyday situations better.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples to the session for immediate feedback.
