Steven Forsyth, LPC

Steven Forsyth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 25 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and related struggles such as codependency and low self-esteem. He also helps with intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Steven uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and EMDR to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. He talks through what is happening now and what a person wants to do differently going forward.

Clients can expect a steady, experience-based approach that links past patterns with current behaviors. Steven pays attention to how addiction history, family of origin issues, or caregiving stress shape how someone reacts in relationships. He also works with grief, chronic illness stress, and other long-term challenges that affect daily life.

He learned addictions counseling after personal recovery and has followed models for relapse prevention, stages of change, and motivational interviewing. That background informs his work with substance use and habit change without assuming a single path for everyone.

Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what a person can do between meetings. Steven encourages small, doable steps toward clearer boundaries, better sleep and eating habits, and improved coping with anger or abandonment concerns.
