About Stephen
Stephen Wallace is an LPCC with 16 years of practice who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He meets clients where they are and focuses on practical ways to cope. His work is straightforward and rooted in listening first.
He aims to help people move from feeling stuck to feeling more capable of handling daily life. Stephen uses a mix of talk-based methods and practical exercises to address problems like grief, addiction, and relationship struggles.
How Stephen works
Sessions look at patterns that cause distress and at small steps that can change those patterns. He pays attention to how past attachments and family roles shape current reactions and choices. People also bring concerns about eating, intimacy, parenting, and career stress.
Stephen helps untangle feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness, and codependency. He supports people who are coping with anger, compassion fatigue, or the challenges of aging and fatherhood. Therapy can include reflection, goal-setting, and mindfulness techniques to practice between sessions.
Cognitive-behavioral ideas are used when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors need direct change. Motivational interviewing is part of conversations about addiction and making lasting changes. Sessions are adaptable to each person's needs and pace.
Stephen emphasizes clear communication and realistic steps that fit everyday life. He works with adults in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Stephen blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to keep sessions practical and personal. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and showing understanding so people can speak openly and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective habits for managing symptoms like anxiety or depression.He approaches treatment as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to pick approaches that match the person's goals and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helping and what feels doable in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility with formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues are useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection and brief, timely check-ins between sessions.
