More about Steven
- 25 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I began my addictions counseling career six years after entering recovery from alcohol/drug use, on 5/13/1982. My original counseling schooling was in Rational Emotive Therapy, which evolved into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and led to my schooling in Narrative Therapy and Transactional Analysis. Most recently, I have become interested in Miller & Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing, Prochaska & Diclemente's Stages of Change model of behavior change, Berg & Miller's Solution-Focused Therapy, Marlatt & Donovan's relapse prevention strategies and techniques, ACT therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy. My most recent Certification is in Robin Shapiro's Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing-EMDR-, through the EMDRIA International Institute in November of 2021. As a Therapist, I necessarily became conversant in telehealth methodology during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. I approach counseling holistically: I understand individuals as "whole cloth", i.e., as the current product(s) of their total life experiences. I also firmly believe in all-ways maintaining a positively enthusiastic outlook on life and living!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wonderful.
Steven offered some great insights for me after only one session. At first I was thrown off a little by his very generic opening but we eventually got into a good flow and sharing of our thoughts.
He has been very helpful and I really feel progress working with him. He can relate and give me great insight.
I recommend this therapist since it made me feel like I was talking to a friend at all times and not a complete stranger, very comforting.
An Amazing professional therapist! He knows so many technicus and gave his best to support his clients.
Very positive person. Always researching methods. Identifies with many experiences. Like talking to a friend who has good ideas and nonjudgmental.
He is amazing. he calms me down so much and he makes me feel like it’s all ok.
He listens to me and offers me a lot of ways to help, also the worksheets are very helpful for my daily life. He is awesome and makes me feel comfortable!
Dr Steven is great! He listened and was so kind. He gave advice I needed to hear. I will continue for as long as I can, using Dr Stephan. He is a perfect match for my personality, beliefs...I've never had a better match up with past psychologist. Looking forward to next session!!
