Steven Brokob, LPC

Steven Brokob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns. He also supports those coping with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and challenges tied to military service. Steven writes plainly and listens carefully to understand each person's goals.

Steven earned a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and brings 12 years of clinical experience. Much of his recent work has been in crisis settings, including community evaluations and emergency-room consults. His background in the United States Marine Corps informs his knowledge of veteran and armed forces issues, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress concerns.

His style is person-centered. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps toward goals. He helps clients notice thinking patterns, recognize how thoughts affect daily habits, and build skills to manage emotions and behaviors.

Steven uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches when they fit a person's needs. He also uses motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and addictive behaviors.

Clients can expect direct, nonjudgmental conversation and an emphasis on concrete coping strategies. Steven encourages people to name symptoms, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Steven often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. CBT targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which means sessions focus on the client's perspective and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. Together, these methods are chosen to match what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that reduce travel time.

Licensed professionals can use online work to focus on skills practice, thought tracking, emotion regulation, and planning next steps in everyday life.
