About Steven
Steven Flanary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people sort through intense feelings and everyday stress. He aims to make sessions straightforward and collaborative. Steven listens first, then helps clients set goals that matter to them.
He uses clear, practical approaches rather than jargon. In sessions he focuses on what is happening for the person now, their patterns, and steps they can try between meetings. He draws on methods that target thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics to address problems like anger, anxiety, depression, and grief.
Background and approach
Steven has eight years of clinical experience across outpatient care, inpatient settings, telehealth, and crisis support. That range gives him experience with both short-term problem solving and longer term work. He emphasizes helping people find manageable changes rather than pushing a single technique.
Sessions are collaborative and client-centered. Steven encourages people to bring their goals and concerns, and together they pick strategies that fit those aims. He values clear communication and practical tools that can be used in daily life.
People seeking help for stress, relationship challenges, trauma, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, or anger will find a focus on real-life skills and emotional understanding. To begin, he asks clients to identify one or two priorities and then builds a plan that fits their day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and offers ways to build more stable connections.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what is heard, and helps clients decide the next steps based on their goals and values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what works for the client’s needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow quicker check-ins, and make continuity possible when travel or scheduling is difficult. Online work also lets therapists use worksheets, skill coaching, and behavioral experiments between meetings to support progress.
