About Stephen
Stephen Wallace is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, codependency-related patterns, grief, and life changes.
He offers one-on-one sessions that focus on solving real problems in everyday life. Sessions often involve talking through current struggles, looking at patterns that keep a person stuck, and practicing new ways to handle difficult situations. Stephen draws on a Christian perspective alongside therapeutic methods to address emotional and relational concerns.
His approach uses clear, actionable tools rather than long explanations. He combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice habits, test new behaviors, and reduce overwhelming thoughts. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about change.
Stephen also uses existential and narrative ideas to help people clarify values and make sense of difficult life events. That work can help with issues like emptiness, commitment concerns, or questions about purpose. He pays attention to how attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling defined by others often come to address boundaries, self-esteem, and control issues. He encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions and revisits what works. The tone in sessions is direct and respectful, focused on helping clients build more sustainable ways of living.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to a person. Online sessions use that same emphasis on the client's perspective to clarify concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes. In an online session CBT can lead to concrete experiments and short practice tasks to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily responses without reacting immediately. That skill can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety or compulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From there he and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. In general, online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to bring real-life situations into sessions for discussion. Ask about available formats when you schedule so the practical setup matches your needs.
