Stephen Bunnell, LCSW

Stephen Bunnell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience based in Idaho. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, and codependency concerns. He also helps with life changes, grief, parenting questions, anger, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.

Stephen uses practical, straightforward conversations to help people name what matters to them. He listens from the client's point of view and centers the person's values when planning next steps. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than grand promises.

In sessions he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and act in line with their values. He uses Client-Centered approaches to follow what the person brings and to support their own problem-solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of how he teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Stephen has worked in multiple states including Utah, Kentucky, and Indiana, and currently practices in Idaho. His background includes work with addiction, homelessness, rural communities, and spiritual or cultural concerns. That range shapes how he thinks about everyday stressors and strained relationships.

People who reach out typically want straightforward guidance on boundary setting, coping skills, or handling strong emotions. He emphasizes connection to values and to practical supports. To begin, a person completes a short intake and schedules an initial session to see if the fit feels right.
