How Steven works
Sessions move at a pace set by the person seeking help. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help moving toward change.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm affects daily life. Dr. Mclain holds the LPC credential and has three years of experience listed for this practice.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. International clients are not currently accepted. Appointments are arranged through a subscription-based model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session based on therapist availability.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgmental space where the person sets the pace and topics for sessions. Online sessions using this approach let someone speak openly and be heard while working through personal goals and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. In online sessions CBT can include short exercises, homework between sessions, and talking through practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address compulsions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing on practical CBT techniques, leaning into client-centered conversations, or combining methods over time.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversations while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for brief check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family routines.
