About Steven
Steven Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 14 years of practice. He works with people who report stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and depression. He also addresses career concerns, self-esteem, anger, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
He uses practical, structured methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Sessions are straightforward and focus on next steps the person can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding.
Steven also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to look at how past relationships affect current connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on improving emotional communication in relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness of reactions in the moment.
Over his career he has supported people facing family of origin issues, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiving stress. He also works with a range of personality and relational issues such as abandonment, attachment issues, dependent and avoidant personality patterns, and commitment or control struggles.
Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear goals. People leave with specific tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling life transitions. To start, prospective clients complete a brief intake and set an initial goal for early sessions.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Steven combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which works well for anxiety, mood, and stress management. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and helps people change how they relate to others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear listening and collaborating on goals so sessions stay focused on what matters to the client.Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will review what you want to change, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That could mean working on skill building with CBT exercises one week and then using attachment-focused conversations the next to practice new ways of connecting.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm current session options before booking to see which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce commute time so work or caregiving obligations are easier to manage.
