Dr. Josalyn Ice, LPC

Dr. Josalyn Ice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with 22 years in mental health care. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to make clients feel heard and respected from the first session.

She draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking and test small changes. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage stress and return attention to the present.

Dr. Ice builds individualized plans rather than using one-size-fits-all solutions. That can mean combining brief mindfulness exercises with CBT tools, or using trauma-focused methods when past hurts are central. Sessions also address family, parenting, caregiver stress, and concerns like abandonment, attachment, or forgiveness.

Her experience includes first responder issues, postpartum depression, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. She works with mood disorders, anger, self-esteem, and financial or life-purpose worries as well. The goal is steady progress and practical skills that make daily life easier.

People who prefer a conversational, engaged therapist may find her approach fits well. She encourages questions about what therapy will look like and what to expect during early sessions.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead and works to reflect concerns back in plain language, which helps people feel understood and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and tests small experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing past harm in a careful, paced way and on building coping skills to manage distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Ice will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That might mean trying brief CBT exercises, adding mindfulness practice, or focusing on trauma-informed strategies depending on need.

Confirm the available session formats before booking to know how you can meet with her. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also makes it possible to continue work during life transitions while staying focused on practical skills and steady progress.
