About Josh
Josh Holbrook is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with three years of experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, career changes, compassion fatigue, and attention concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking to manage daily challenges.
He learned much working in community mental health early in his career. That work exposed him to a wide range of struggles, including significant trauma, self-harm, and motivation difficulties. He also has experience supporting people who have faced legal problems and major life losses.
His main way of working is straightforward and goal oriented. He primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. He also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, mindfulness, and attachment-based ideas when they fit.
In sessions he emphasizes practical tools and small experiments people can try between meetings. Conversations often include skill practice, checking what’s working, and adjusting plans. He pays attention to how relationships and life events affect thinking and behavior.
Josh works with adults in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Josh primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or motivation.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. That perspective can help when past hurts affect current trust and connection. In addition, he uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the client’s goals and experience, emphasizing listening and collaborative problem solving.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. He will work with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust plans based on progress, and introduce different tools if needed. The goal is practical work that fits the client’s concerns and routines.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and scheduling step to identify what will work best for everyday life.
