Steven Flanary

Steven Flanary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on men's wellbeing and broader mental health concerns. He offers a calm, collaborative style that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or life transitions. Steven invites clients to start where they are and set goals that matter to them.

He draws on methods that emphasize connection and practical skills. Sessions often look like steady conversation about what’s happening now, paired with tools to manage moods, relationships, and sleep. The work is paced to the individual and aims to build clearer thinking and steadier reactions.

Steven has eight years of experience across outpatient therapy, telehealth, inpatient mental health care, and crisis support. That range means he is familiar with short-term problem-solving and longer-term work on patterns like attachment, avoidance, or codependency.

In sessions he centers the client’s priorities and uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. He also draws on existential ideas when people are facing big life questions.

People who meet with Steven typically get a mix of talking, practical exercises, and collaborative planning. He helps with everyday challenges like stress, parenting strain, and career uncertainty as well as complex issues such as trauma, bipolar symptoms, grief, and chronic illness concerns.
