About Steven

Steven Brokob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 12 years of experience. He works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and anger. He also addresses relationship and parenting concerns, grief, career stress, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.

He spent years in community mental health and in a crisis center doing evaluations in the community and emergency rooms. That work shaped a straightforward way of working with intense feelings and urgent problems. He has experience with military and veterans issues from prior service in the United States Marine Corps.

His style is client-centered. He helps people identify strengths and practical goals. He talks through thinking patterns and how thoughts link to everyday habits and reactions.

He teaches coping skills and builds awareness of emotions and mental processes. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to support those skills.

Sessions are aimed at clear, usable changes - reducing reactive anger, managing impulses, improving sleep, or handling work stress. He also supports people dealing with mood disorders, substance use issues, and problems that come from chronic pain or illness. People should expect a direct, practical focus on what to try between sessions.

For logistics, he practices in Virginia and works in English. Costs vary with location and sessions are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports people who want to change how they respond to strong emotions like anger by clarifying values and taking small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. It teaches specific techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for handling stress, anxiety, and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple attention practices. It can help reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and increase clarity when emotions feel overwhelming. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are normal as progress unfolds. Confirm the therapist's session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use camera-off conversations or phone calls when that helps them engage. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to sort out practical details and what will work best for everyday life.
