Hi, my name is Josh, I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia.
I have been licensed since 2017 and I've been working in the mental health arena for just under a decade. I began working in community mental health and that gave me an excellent opportunity to work with people who were dealing with a large variety of issues, including significant trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, people struggling to find motivation, people who are grieving significant losses, people with attention or focus issues, and people just trying to find their place in the world.
My primary concern is ensuring that you feel comfortable and safe to share openly. Wherever you are on your adventure, I want to meet you there and work with you until you reach your destination. I primarily practice cognitive behavioral therapy and I work very hard to keep myself updated on treatments that are identified as best practice therapy models by the state of Virginia. It is important to me to provide a service that is supported by research to ensure that my clients get the best service available. I tend to pull a lot from DBT, strength based counseling, motivational-interviewing, solution focused therapy, and mindfulness. It should also be mentioned that I have a lot of experience working with people who have had significant legal issues. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I love to learn.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. It takes a lot of courage to reach out to a counselor, I look forward to hearing from you.

Josh has been an excellent therapist. I have seen him for over a year, and he's been irreplaceable in the worst of times, but also has acted as a friend when times have calmed. Josh has been both professional and personable, and I would recommend him to anyone I know.

Josh is really respectful and a great listener. He takes the time to understand what I’m having trouble with and asks thought-provoking questions to help me reframe the problem.

I have not been using the site as much as I should have, but so far Josh Holbrook has been friendly, professional, and all around what I'd hope for from a counselor/therapist, which makes me excited to be better about utilizing the resources available!
