About Steven
Steven Marshall is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. His style aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy adults and parents.
He trained in counseling at Louisiana Tech and has eight years of experience in the helping professions. Steven uses a mix of approaches so he can tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
He emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental stance while working together to identify helpful next steps. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting. He also uses emotion-focused techniques to tune into relationship patterns and how feelings shape interactions.
For trauma-related concerns he incorporates EMDR as one of the options when appropriate. Steven has experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addiction, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and coping after loss. He also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related stress and works with individuals exploring relationship and family conflict.
He offers individual work, couples conversation, family-focused sessions, and group therapy. Steven aims for clear goals, simple tools you can try between sessions, and regular check-ins to see what is helping.
How his approaches work online
Steven uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often involves clear, short exercises and practical homework that translate well to online sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify recurring patterns in relationships and name the feelings behind those patterns; it works through guided conversation and role moments that can be done on video. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories when appropriate, offering structured sessions that focus on processing distressing memories in a paced way.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together he and the client try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay focused on real-life improvements.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with tight schedules or limited mobility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to stay connected between sessions or to use brief coaching-style touchpoints during a busy day.
