About Josalyn
Dr. Josalyn Ice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with 22 years of experience in mental health. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting strains, grief, and anger. She also helps with stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and interactive. She draws from client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. Mindfulness strategies are used to slow down strong emotions and notice reactions as they happen.
Dr. Ice also uses trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect daily life. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify values and set realistic goals when change feels difficult. Sessions are conversational and task-focused, with time spent on skills people can practice between meetings.
She pays attention to family and attachment patterns that shape how people relate to others. That includes concerns such as abandonment, family of origin issues, divorce and domestic violence. First responder issues, caregiver stress, and postpartum depression are among other areas she has addressed over her career.
People meet her to sort through anger that shows up at home or work, to reduce resentments, and to build better ways to respond under stress. She encourages steady progress through clear steps, homework when helpful, and regular check-ins about what is working.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in West Virginia. Dr. Ice asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions keep that conversational focus and use questions to help people clarify problems and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behavior. In remote sessions, CBT includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new responses, and assigning short exercises between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity; these skills can be practiced during and between online meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed in later sessions.
The details of session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote appointments.
