Steven also served in the United States Marine Corps and has experience with veteran and armed forces issues such as PTSD and traumatic brain injury. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.
In sessions he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. He teaches coping skills, emotion awareness, and practical strategies to change habits. The approach is collaborative and paced to the client's needs.
Steven stresses that seeking help is a normal step when life feels overwhelming. He aims to offer a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard topics, build new skills, and work toward clearer goals.
Therapeutic methods that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck by worry, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems alive. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and addictive habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase emotional awareness, which supports stress and impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed based on progress and comfort.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and simplify follow-up work between sessions. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for using exercises and worksheets during or after appointments. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and needs.
