About Steve
Steve Hammond is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Georgia with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and questions about sexual orientation. He also helps with addiction, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and self-esteem concerns.
His practice favors clear, action-focused talks. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and communication patterns. He listens, asks pointed questions, and helps people set practical steps to try between sessions.
Steve describes an integrated approach that draws on well-researched psychotherapy methods alongside personal faith. He does not impose beliefs; rather he notes how faith can matter for some clients and believes past hurts related to religious settings are important to acknowledge.
Work often focuses on interpersonal problems such as communication breakdown, betrayal, blended family adjustments, and fatherhood challenges. He also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, body image and codependency. Practical skill-building around coping, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention are common session topics.
People who prefer straightforward discussion and structured tools tend to fit this style. Sessions may include goal-setting, behavior experiments, thought records, and role-play for communication practice. He speaks English and Dutch and practices in Georgia.
How his approaches translate to online work
Steve commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can explore their own priorities and make decisions at their own pace.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are needed. DBT skills teach specific techniques for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving communication during relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT exercises, DBT skills training, or client-centered conversation fits best based on goals and preferences. That decision can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Discuss practical needs up front so sessions match daily life and treatment goals.
