About Steven
Steven Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with eight years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and handle trauma and abuse. He also supports adults dealing with family and parenting issues, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and work or career stress.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change. Steven draws on client-centered methods that emphasize the person's perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
When trauma is part of the picture, he may integrate EMDR-informed approaches alongside mindfulness practices. These methods aim to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and improve day-to-day coping. Dialectical behavior strategies can be added when emotional regulation and strong reactions are getting in the way of daily life.
Steven works with people on a range of concerns from ADHD and depression to eating, sleeping, anger, and compassion fatigue. He also supports adults coping with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family challenges. The focus is on clear steps and skills that can be used between sessions.
He describes his role as a collaborative guide rather than an instructor. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. It involves open conversation and reflective listening so the client sets the pace and priorities. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and parenting strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build small behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. It can help when strong emotions lead to impulsive actions or communication breakdowns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around parenting, work, or medical appointments. Online work can make shorter check-ins possible, reduce travel time, and help clients try therapy without rearranging a full day.
