Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Steve commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the process - it is useful for improving self-esteem, relationship patterns, and emotional clarity. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building - it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when clients need tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers concrete techniques that can reduce intense reactions and support more stable daily functioning.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. Steve works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as therapy progresses to find the most helpful path forward.
Online therapy with Steve is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical, helping clients sustain momentum and apply new skills in everyday life.
