About Steven
Steven Brokob is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 12 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and related concerns. He also works with issues such as grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and attention difficulties like ADHD.
He uses a practical, person-centered approach that looks at thoughts, feelings, and daily habits. He helps people notice thinking patterns and how those patterns shape behavior. Sessions include building basic coping skills and increasing awareness of emotions and reactions.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those methods fit a person's goals. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are part of his toolkit for addressing motivation, substance use, and impulse problems.
Steven has experience in community mental health and crisis work, including evaluations in emergency settings. He also has background from service in the United States Marine Corps and has worked with military and veteran issues such as PTSD and traumatic brain injury.
In practical terms he helps people translate insight into small behavior changes. Expect clear, step-by-step conversations about what to try between sessions. He asks about goals up front and tracks progress in concrete ways.
How his approaches translate to online work
Steven uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and practice between sessions to change behaviors and reduce anxiety or low mood.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and decide what matters most to them. ACT teaches skills for accepting uncomfortable experience while committing to actions that match a person's values.
Client-centered techniques guide the conversational stance in sessions, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify goals. This approach supports people who need straightforward, practical planning rather than long theoretical discussion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss how CBT, ACT, or other methods might fit a client's goals and preferences, and together they decide what to try first. The plan can change as progress and feedback come in.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let someone choose whether to use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt practical exercises for remote sessions so skills work is still possible between meetings.
