About Josalyn
Dr. Josalyn Ice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with 22 years of experience in mental health care. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns.
Her approach aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can start to feel heard and make changes. She uses straightforward, interactive sessions rather than long lectures. Sessions often combine practical skills and personal reflection so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
How Josalyn works
She emphasizes listening first, then building a plan that fits each person's life and goals. Her work includes attention to parenting strains, family conflicts, and caregiver stress alongside issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment, and domestic violence. She also offers support around major life transitions like divorce or financial stress, and for mood disorders including postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress.
Dr. Ice draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
Trauma-focused tools are used when past events continue to affect daily life. People who prefer a warm, engaged therapist who builds a tailored plan may find her style helpful. Her work is practical and goal-oriented, while also allowing time to process difficult feelings and build healthier patterns.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Ice uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and priorities. This approach means she listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people set the pace and topics for sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about what feels most useful and tailor techniques to match goals and life demands. That collaboration helps decide when to emphasize skill-building, mindfulness, or trauma-focused methods based on what the person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for longer sessions and deeper conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps maintain progress between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
