Dr. Josalyn Ice, LPC - Therapist in West Virginia

About Josalyn

Dr. Josalyn Ice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with more than 22 years working in mental health. She began in the field over two decades ago and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes.

Her background includes work with concerns related to family and parenting, grief, and stress. She holds WV Psychologist 935 and WV LPC 1802 credentials and brings long experience to each session.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens closely and asks practical questions to help people name problems and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between meetings and on building skills that reduce worry, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

In practice she combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-focused work. That mix lets her tailor plans to a person’s needs. Mindfulness skills are added when helpful to ease tension and ground attention.

Dr. Ice aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She encourages open conversation about goals and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

People leaving a session should feel understood and have at least one practical action to try. Her work often addresses relationship strains, parenting concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem, postpartum depression, and stress related to first responder roles.

Her approach emphasizes respect, clear guidance, and steady support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Ice uses client-centered work to make space for each person’s priorities. That means sessions begin by listening closely to what’s most important, and then shaping goals around the person’s own values and needs. It helps when people feel heard and set their own aims.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT provides clear, practical tools for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past events continue to cause distress, offering ways to process difficult memories and reduce their daily impact.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try skills in real time, and stay connected when schedules are tight.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
