01About Josh
Josh Holbrook is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. He also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating struggles, ADHD, and work or parenting stress. Josh aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward for someone seeking help.
He draws most of his work from cognitive behavioral therapy, using practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He also integrates dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness practices for day-to-day coping. Sessions tend to focus on concrete strategies and step-by-step goals rather than abstract theory. Josh has about three years of licensed practice and several additional years working in community mental health settings.
That background gave him broad experience with trauma, motivation difficulties, legal system involvement, and complex life stressors. He keeps current with treatment approaches recommended by Virginia authorities. In sessions he prioritizes creating a comfortable space where people can speak openly.
He listens for each person's strengths and builds on what already works. Treatment plans are collaborative and adjusted as needs change. People can expect a direct but compassionate approach that balances practical skills with attention to personal values and meaning.
Josh enjoys learning from each person he meets and works to help them move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Josh uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related struggles. He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness for people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods to those needs. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to emphasize skill practice, deeper reflection, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and skill demonstrations, phone can be a lighter check-in or helpful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief updates, coaching between meetings, or when a written exchange feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent progress without long commutes.
