About Steve
Steve Hammond is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 11 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and relationships. He also works with people navigating LGBT questions and with those dealing with trauma and compassion fatigue.
Steve listens and asks direct questions to help people make practical changes. He blends established therapeutic methods with his personal faith perspective while keeping sessions focused on the client's goals. He offers straightforward conversation and collaborative planning rather than long lectures.
People come to him with family-related struggles like communication problems, blended family tensions, fatherhood issues, and conflict tied to adoption, foster care, or family-of-origin wounds. He also addresses attachment concerns, codependency, and the fallout of betrayal or separation. Sessions include discussion of coping skills for anger, bipolar mood challenges, and substance use issues.
Steve draws on tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior approaches, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. He uses these to help people change patterns, manage distress, and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. That mix lets him shift between short-term skill building and deeper reflection as needed.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He aims to help clients identify next steps, practice new behaviors, and track progress over time. People who want clear steps and honest discussion often find his style practical and direct.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values and feel heard while they decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. Steve will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose techniques that fit those aims. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skill-building, emotional processing, or story-based work that examines how life narratives shape choices.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use video when talking face-to-face matters, or choose phone when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt sessions so the work fits everyday life and practical constraints.
