Dr. Josalyn Ice

Dr. Josalyn Ice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with more than two decades of experience in mental health. She has helped people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and major life transitions. Her background centers on steady, practical support for people trying to adjust to change.

Her style is warm, engaged, and interactive. Sessions focus on listening first, then building plans together. She aims to make people feel heard, respected, and empowered as they work through challenges like grief, parenting stress, or burnout.

Dr. Ice mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices. She adapts plans to fit each person’s situation, using tools that help with thought patterns, emotional regulation, and present-moment awareness. Trauma-focused methods are included when past injuries need careful attention.

People who reach out can expect practical steps alongside reflective conversation. That might include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing grounding exercises, or setting small behavior changes to test in daily life. She also addresses issues such as attachment, caregiver stress, forgiveness, and financial worries when they affect wellbeing.

Coping with life changes is a clear focus in her practice, from separation and loss to new roles and responsibilities. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete an intake that helps match goals with a plan of care.

How her approaches fit with online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's needs. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the client, building trust and a plan at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to test new ways of responding to stress and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try approaches that seem likely to help, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor whether mindfulness skills, CBT techniques, or trauma-focused steps make sense for the issue at hand.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or connecting when travel would otherwise interrupt care. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so clients know whether options match their schedule and needs. Overall, online sessions aim to bring therapeutic tools into everyday routines and support steady progress.
