About Josalyn

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 22 years of experience, Dr. Josalyn Ice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family and parenting strain, and related issues. She combines several therapeutic approaches to help people manage emotions and move forward. Dr. Ice works directly with adults on a range of life changes and persistent mood concerns.

Dr. Ice uses client-centered methods to make sessions collaborative and practical. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and learn new ways of coping. Motivational interviewing is used when people need support sorting goals and ambivalence. Trauma-focused strategies are applied when past events continue to affect daily life.

Sessions are described as interactive and engaged, with an emphasis on developing a plan that fits what each person needs. Conversations often include identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, practicing grounding or mindfulness skills, and setting small, achievable goals between visits. She pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin and relationship dynamics when those are relevant.

Over two decades in the field have involved work with mood disorders, postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, first responder issues, and caregiver stress among other concerns. Dr. Ice also addresses specific topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, domestic violence, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and money or life-purpose worries.

People who prefer clear, goal-oriented sessions with an emphasis on practical skills and collaborative planning may find this approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions center on the client’s goals and priorities, and the therapist adapts tools and pacing to fit those goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing behavioral experiments, and assigning short between-session exercises to test new skills.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity. These techniques can be practiced together during a session and then repeated between meetings to build habit and calm.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through the options and help decide what to try first based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress or priorities change.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules. Online meetings can allow for shorter check-ins, reduced travel time, and scheduling that fits into a regular routine.
