About Steve

Background and approach
Steve draws on several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. He may focus on thoughts and behaviors, emotional regulation skills, or patterns tied to attachment. The aim is to help people reduce reactivity and build more steady responses to hard situations.
Clients can expect a collaborative style. Steve asks about values, priorities, and what a meaningful change would look like. Together they pick doable steps and track progress over time.
Because he has worked with people affected by addiction, trauma, and mood concerns, Steve brings a range of strategies to sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online anger and mood work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that match what matters to the person. It can help with chronic anger, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anger, depression, and impulsivity.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people practice skills and observe facial cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other routines while still working through anger and related concerns with a licensed professional.
