Background and approach
Before counseling he served in the United States Marine Corps and has experience with military and veteran concerns. Much of his recent work was in community mental health and crisis settings, including evaluations in emergency rooms and crisis centers. Steven uses a person-centered approach that starts with a person's goals and strengths.
He also draws on acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new actions. Sessions focus on identifying thinking patterns, building emotional awareness, and practicing coping skills.
He has experience supporting people with mood and personality challenges, substance use, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and pain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses more specific concerns such as fatherhood issues, first responder and veteran matters, and financial or life-purpose worries. Steven aims for a calm, nonjudgmental presence in sessions.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a session once the match is set.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Steven draws on acceptance and commitment work to help people clarify values and take actions that match what matters to them, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT-style work is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and many daily habits that get in the way of goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what best fits their schedule and comfort.
