About Steven
Steven Brokob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, bipolar symptoms, and parenting concerns. He also supports people facing grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and life changes.
He draws on practical, person-centered methods in sessions. That means conversations focus on the client's goals and strengths. He listens without judgment and works to increase awareness of thoughts, feelings, and daily habits.
Background and approach
Steven uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clarify values and build small, steady steps toward those values. Dialectical behavior therapy skills may be offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
His background includes years in community mental health and crisis work, including evaluations in community and emergency room settings. He has worked with a wide range of concerns and brings experience with military and veteran issues from prior service in the United States Marine Corps. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Steven helps people identify symptoms, practice coping skills, and set clear, achievable goals. He aims to create a calm, steady space to talk through what matters and try new ways of coping.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small consistent steps toward those values. Online ACT work often focuses on identifying values and practicing brief exercises between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical homework to change patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include thought records, behavior experiments, and short skill-building assignments you can do between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness; these techniques translate easily to guided practice on a video call or as short daily exercises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routine, then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can adapt over time so the plan fits what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and guided exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
