He practices in Texas and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting struggles, self-esteem problems, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. He also lists codependency among his areas of focus.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary framework, and draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy as needed. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, set achievable goals, and build practical steps for change. Conversations tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with attention to the client’s strengths.

Steven has experience working with people affected by alcohol and drug problems and with those involved in the criminal justice system. His work often addresses communication difficulties, commitment concerns, fatherhood issues, and workplace stress. He pays attention to multicultural factors that affect how people cope and relate.

He emphasizes building a trusting relationship so clients can try new ways of handling stress and conflict. Messages are typically reviewed at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. He frames counseling as a collaborative process that focuses on concrete progress.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
