About Josh

Josh Holbrook is a licensed professional counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. He practices in Virginia and uses straightforward talk to help clients find clearer ways forward. Josh aims to make the first conversation easy to manage.

He keeps sessions simple and practical. He listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals to reduce distress and build confidence.

Background and approach

His work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift day-to-day habits. He also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing appear when clients need emotion regulation skills or help finding motivation.

Josh began in community mental health, which gave him experience with a wide range of concerns including trauma, self-harm, legal stress, and complicated grief. He says that research-backed methods matter, and he keeps his approach current with what the state of Virginia recognizes as best practice. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change right now.

Josh encourages people to bring their real-life problems into the room so solutions can be practical and relevant. He welcomes questions and works at a pace set by each person.

Online support

Online approaches that focus on relationships and skills

Josh blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice how relationships and thoughts affect their feelings. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses, which is helpful for people who want clearer connections and more supported ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

He also draws on client-centered principles, which means sessions start with the client's concerns and preferences. Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can fit into a busy day with less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to attend therapy regularly and to match the format with the task at hand.
