About Steven

Steven Brokob is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, sleep and related concerns. He draws on 12 years of clinical work to help people manage mood problems, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. He aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and practical.

He trained in psychology and holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling. Much of his recent work was in a crisis center doing community and emergency room evaluations. That background means he is familiar with urgent situations and with issues like suicidal thinking, substance use, and trauma-related symptoms.

Steven uses a person-centered therapy style that starts with the client’s goals. He helps people identify strengths and build awareness of their emotions and thinking patterns. From there he works on practical coping skills and habit changes that fit daily life.

He also integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. Sessions typically focus on reducing distress, improving sleep and daily routines, and managing impulses and cravings when relevant.

Steven mentions his military service and experience with veteran and first responder issues, so he brings that perspective to work with people who find it relevant. He works in English and practices in Virginia as an LPC.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts rather than fighting them; it can help people struggling with anxiety, mood swings, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing routines and behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and coping with cravings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, daily life, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on building routines and sleep habits. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice between sessions so change extends into everyday life.
