About Stephen
Stephen Wallace is an Ohio-based licensed counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He works with individual adults to address relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, and career stress.
He draws on nearly 16 years of experience to offer steady, down-to-earth support. Sessions often center on talking through what feels most urgent, learning new coping skills, and testing small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
He also addresses deeper issues such as attachment patterns, abandonment wounds, and persistent guilt or shame. Stephen integrates client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. This mix helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and slow down to recognize emotions.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help changing habits, including addictive patterns. Faith and spirituality can be part of sessions when a client wants that explored. Stephen will respect a client’s beliefs while keeping the work focused on clear goals and practical steps.
He aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. People often come for help with communication problems, codependency, eating-related concerns, or navigating divorce and separation. Stephen provides a calm space for those wanting to rebuild connection, set boundaries, or find new purpose after loss or major transitions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Stephen combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address real problems in online sessions. Client-centered therapy prioritizes listening and understanding the person's perspective, which helps build trust and clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and harmful habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and values. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or use brief written check-ins during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines.
