Steve Scarborough, LPC

Steve Scarborough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing relationship strain, addiction-related concerns, anxiety, depression, and issues tied to family and attachment. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, codependency patterns, and parenting stress.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. He uses conversations to identify what keeps someone stuck and then practices small, concrete changes. He draws on therapies that address thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns rather than relying solely on insight or lectures.

Steve mixes approaches to fit what each person needs. That can mean learning skills to tolerate strong emotions, working on clearer communication, or noticing values and goals to guide action. He also pays attention to how attachment history affects current relationships and coping skills.

People can expect direct, task-focused work alongside time to talk through painful experiences. Sessions often include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and steps to reduce impulsive or avoidant reactions. This helps with stress, cravings, anger, and struggles with self-worth.

Steve integrates methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based techniques, and client-centered listening. He aims to help people regain their sense of choice and set practical boundaries with others.
