About Steven
Dr. Steven Noles is a VA Psychologist with a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) and 40 years of clinical experience. He practices in Virginia and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, ADHD, and related life challenges. He also works with issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
He spent part of his career as a staff psychologist in the U.S. Navy and has more than 25 years in full-time private practice. He has consulted with colleges and universities on ADHD, learning, and psychological disabilities. He has also consulted with athletes and teams at high school, college, and professional levels, and worked as a staff psychologist at a selective private university.
In sessions he uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and solution-focused strategies. He keeps work practical and task-oriented, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions may include skills practice, problem-solving, and short-term planning tied to daily life.
His additional focus includes commitment issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, men’s issues, midlife transitions, veteran and armed forces concerns, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love. He combines these focus areas with structured techniques to address specific problems.
Outside clinical work he has been married over 38 years, is a father and grandfather, and volunteers at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. This background informs a practical, life-focused approach to therapy.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Noles uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can suit anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.He also draws on client-centered methods that emphasize listening and building a working relationship. These methods support people who want to talk through relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, or parenting stresses. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and identify steps people can try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative process helps shape session structure and homework tasks.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when progress needs monitoring. Some formats may also require less bandwidth or allow sessions without video, which can be helpful for shorter problem-focused meetings.
