How Steven works
Steven combines talk-based work with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful habits. His background includes community mental health and crisis work, where he did evaluations in community settings and emergency rooms. That experience shaped his ability to respond calmly under pressure and to support people through intense moments.
He brings a practical mindset and an honest, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Steven also draws on life experience from military service and applies that understanding when addressing stress, trauma, and issues often seen by veterans and first responders. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, and he holds a Virginia LPC.
In sessions he aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where goals are clear and skills are practiced. People can expect help with recognizing emotions, tracking patterns, and trying new coping strategies over time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, which can support stress, anger, and grief work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean practicing CBT tools one week and trying a mindfulness exercise the next, or bringing ACT ideas into longer-term planning.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial expressions and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or try brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping focus on skill building and progress.
