About Steven

Steven Brokob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood problems, addiction, and money and financial issues. He draws on 12 years of clinical experience to offer practical support for depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He works in a direct, respectful way and focuses on what a person needs now.

He keeps sessions person-centered and goal-focused. That means he helps clients identify their strengths and decide what to try next. He also helps people notice thought patterns, manage strong emotions, and build everyday coping skills. Conversations are meant to be straightforward and useful for day-to-day life.

Steven's background includes community mental health and crisis work, including evaluations in emergency settings. He has experience with substance use, suicidal thoughts, and a range of mood and personality challenges. He also has knowledge of military and veteran-related issues from prior service in the United States Marine Corps.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. Those degrees support his LPC credential and clinical practice in Virginia.

Sessions emphasize practical tools such as mindfulness, behavior changes, and values-based action. He aims to help people make steady progress on problems like stress, grief, parenting concerns, or finding purpose. The approach is collaborative - the client and Steven set the goals together.

How his approaches translate to online care

Steven often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in practice. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and life demands. That may mean combining mindfulness exercises with skills practice or focusing on values and problem solving depending on what's most useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten travel time, or allow quick check-ins between in-person visits. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work in remote conversations, using guided mindfulness, homework tasks, and skills coaching to support progress.
