About Josh
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with three years of post-licensure practice, Josh Holbrook helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem. He also addresses addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and attention issues. Josh works in English and practices from approaches he lists in his work.
Josh describes his main clinical orientation as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). He often uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered therapy, attachment-based work, existential therapy, and motivational interviewing to suit what a person needs in session. He says he follows best-practice treatments recognized in Virginia and keeps his methods up to date.
Sessions are straightforward and action-focused. Josh aims to help people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and build skills for managing strong emotions. He also supports people who are processing past trauma or legal-related stressors.
His background includes community mental health work where he supported people with complex and varied challenges, including trauma, self-harm, and motivation difficulties. That experience shaped how he mixes skills training, problem solving, and reflective conversation.
Josh asks people to start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. He notes that costs vary with location and that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. In session this can mean looking at how someone expects others to respond and trying new ways of relating when stress hits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different behaviors between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving regulation, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the person and suggest which approaches might fit best. Adjustments are made over time as the person and therapist see what works.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer phone or video for different practical reasons - for example, calls use less bandwidth and video allows more visual cues. Ask about the available session options to match a format with your schedule and needs.
