Steven Brokob , LPC

Steven Brokob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. He trained in community mental health settings and spent the past five years working in a crisis center conducting evaluations in community locations and emergency rooms. His background includes work with people across the lifespan, from young children to older adults, and with individuals who have neurocognitive, intellectual, or developmental disabilities.

Before entering counseling, he served in the United States Marine Corps, and he brings an informed understanding of military and veterans issues such as post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.

His practice emphasizes a person-centered, empathic, nonjudgmental stance that helps people identify strengths, clarify goals, and build motivation. He blends that approach with techniques to examine thinking patterns, daily habits, emotions, and behaviors, and he works with clients to recognize symptoms and learn practical coping skills. He is experienced in addressing concerns including depression, anxiety and panic, self-harm and suicidal ideation, substance use, mood and personality disorders, trauma, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, and challenges related to sleep, eating, parenting, career, and life transitions.

Steven aims to meet people where they are and to support them in taking steps toward greater well-being and functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care with Steven Brokob

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that support a meaningful life, while teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than fight them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent avoidance patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment that highlights the client's own resources and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply, helps identify strengths, and supports clients as they build motivation and self-directed change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by practicing new skills and habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and difficulties with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Steven works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and life demands. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and to access support when scheduling or location would otherwise be a barrier, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor care to each person's circumstances.
