About Steve
Steve earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and has worked in counseling roles for over a decade, with substantial time as a licensed counselor. He mixes several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs instead of using one set way. Sessions often center on clear goals, problem-solving, and improving everyday coping skills.
In appointments he listens for patterns in relationships, roles, and reactions. He uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered elements guide conversations about feelings and needs.
Steve also helps people with specific concerns such as intimacy issues, addictions, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping after trauma or loss. He works to make goals tangible and progress measurable so people can track change between sessions.
Practical coaching and coping strategies are blended with deeper relational work when needed. He encourages direct communication and exercises clients can try between meetings. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people notice patterns that affect trust and closeness. It can be useful for those struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or repeated relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful ones, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and working with emotions to improve how people relate to others, and it can help with intimacy and communication challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steve will listen to a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current delivery options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy practical and focused on the goals you set together.
