About Steven
Steven Shampain is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Tennessee. He centers therapy on understanding the reasons behind thoughts and behaviors so people can move forward. He aims to create an open, respectful space and often shares parts of his own story when that helps build trust.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also works with issues related to addiction, codependency, grief, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. Men's issues and LGBT concerns are listed areas of focus as well.
His style is hope oriented and forward looking. He helps people discover what matters to them and find practical steps toward their goals. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, identifying barriers, and trying small behavior changes.
Steven uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, client-centered methods, and Imago relationship ideas. He draws on ten years of experience to tailor work to each person's needs and values.
He invites questions about politics or religion if those topics affect a person's well-being. To start, he asks people to describe where they are now and what they want to change. That helps shape clear, achievable next steps for therapy.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It often suits anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with stress, worry, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so a person can explore their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend approaches to try together. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer, so treatment stays practical and person-centered.
Session-format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone avoid being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and tools so therapy fits everyday life and goals.
