About Steven
Steven Brokob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, mood concerns, and substance use. He draws on a decade-plus of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support for common life struggles. He speaks English and uses a direct, respectful approach when meeting new clients.
His background includes work in community mental health and crisis settings, where he conducted evaluations in the community and emergency rooms.
Background and approach
That experience shaped how he responds to urgent concerns and difficult emotions. He has also served in the United States Marine Corps, which informs his understanding of military and veteran issues. In sessions he focuses on identifying thinking patterns and daily habits that keep problems going.
He helps people build awareness of emotions and develop coping skills they can use between visits. The work is collaborative and concrete, aimed at real-life changes rather than labels. He uses person-centered methods to highlight client strengths and motivation.
He also integrates cognitive behavioral skills, acceptance strategies, mindfulness, and elements of dialectical approaches when helpful. Those tools are selected to match each person's goals and situation. Steven earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.
He brings about 12 years of practice to his counseling work and offers sessions that fit different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions based on values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger-related reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which supports stress, anger, and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is often a joint decision. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily life, and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust as progress is made, mixing techniques when that best supports the client's aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations across distance. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit sessions into busy lives.
