About Steven
Steven Clarke is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and support around life changes such as divorce and midlife transitions. Steven also lists work with men, parenting transitions, and caregiver stress among his areas of focus.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, test different ways of responding, and build plain coping skills for day-to-day problems. Sessions emphasize concrete steps rather than long theory discussions.
Steven pays attention to communication patterns and family dynamics when those are relevant. He helps people work through family-of-origin issues, blended family adjustments, fatherhood changes, and problems that come from caregiving responsibilities. He also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
His style is direct and practical. He helps clients set specific goals and practices small behavior changes between sessions. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to support readiness for change when that fits the situation.
Sessions are offered in English and Steven practices in Florida. Prospective clients should follow the site process to see online therapy options, complete the matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Steven commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients track thought patterns, test assumptions, and practice new behaviors between sessions. CBT sessions online focus on clear agendas, practical homework, and short check-ins that fit into everyday life.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes listening and following the client’s concerns. That approach helps shape goals and lets the client steer which problems to tackle first. In addition, DBT-informed skills teaching offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced in real situations.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what works, adjust methods, and prioritize goals together so sessions stay useful and manageable.
