He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and client-centered conversation to keep the work grounded in the client's perspective. Steve has experience with issues commonly tied to addiction and dual-diagnosis work, and he is familiar with relapse prevention strategies and trauma-informed care.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with mood, stress, and impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people improve how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and then adapting based on what fits and what helps in daily life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video, audio, or phone in ways that match their comfort and schedule, and the therapist will discuss which setup best supports the goals you bring to sessions.
