About Scott

Scott Caldwell is an LPCC and LPC practicing in Ohio with nine years of experience. He identifies as a Christian faith-based counselor and uses a biopsychosocial spiritual approach that includes a focus on Christian worldview and faith. He helps people facing relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, and codependency-related patterns.

Scott blends talk therapy with practical tools. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and the Gottman Method to address problem patterns. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings, including behavior experiments and communication skills practice.

He pays attention to how family history, attachment, and life stresses shape current coping. That means looking at relationship patterns, boundaries, and responses to loss or anger. He also works with concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and caregiver stress when these connect to relationship or self-esteem problems.

Scott’s Christian faith perspective informs how he talks about values, meaning, and purpose when clients want that included. He aims to respect each person’s beliefs while addressing real-life challenges like commitment issues, codependency, body image, or career stress.

Sessions are described in plain terms and focus on skills, honest conversations, and small changes that add up. To start, he asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when people feel stuck or unclear about what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people notice and change patterns that lead to codependent behaviors or fear of intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend next steps together. That collaborative planning can include combining approaches when useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or make it possible to meet when travel or weather would otherwise interfere. Therapists can also adapt exercises and skills practice to an online setting so work continues between meetings.
