About Steven
Dr. Steven Levey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 22 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns and helps people manage grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and career stress.
He uses straightforward, goal-oriented conversations to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small behavioral experiments, and refining what works. This approach is practical and action-focused rather than abstract.
Dr. Levey combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. He also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when a short-term plan or clearer decision process is useful. Together these methods are used to address specific problems like overwhelm, relationship communication, and coping after loss.
He has worked with adults at different stages of life, including people facing midlife transitions, workplace stress, and parenting strain. He helps people clarify values, set achievable changes, and practice new responses to old patterns.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented. Expect concrete suggestions, skill practice between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, visitors are asked to use the online matching flow to schedule an initial session and see what fits their needs.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Levey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT sessions often include logging thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and reviewing what changed over the week. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify goals. Mindfulness Therapy appears in sessions as simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Choosing an approach is collaborative. He works with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked. The plan is practical and revisited regularly so work stays relevant to current concerns. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time lost to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals can use online sessions to assign practice between meetings and to track small changes that add up over time.Areas of expertise
