About Steven
He has worked in hospitals, youth agencies, public schools, a health department, university settings as an adjunct professor, and private practice. Those varied settings shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to counseling. Sessions focus on listening first, then using the person’s strengths to set simple, realistic goals.
In the room he aims to build a respectful relationship where clients feel heard and understood. That rapport helps identify where someone is emotionally and where they want to go. From there he and the client work together on steady steps toward those goals.
His methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. These are used to help people cope with life changes, manage symptoms, and find clearer direction in daily life.
People who choose him often say they want practical help and steady support while they make changes. He welcomes conversations about aging and geriatric concerns, caregiving stress, cancer-related issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, family of origin concerns, and men’s issues among other focuses.

Approaches that guide remote work and goals
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match a person’s values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention to what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy centers on an open, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their own problem solving. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and strengthen self-direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are available for online work. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between obligations. They can also offer shorter check-ins when life gets hectic, or allow sessions that do not require being on camera if that is preferable. Ask about current session options and scheduling when you sign up.
