About Steven
Steven Clarke is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He uses a straightforward, compassionate style to help people facing stress, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, addictions, and issues related to caregiving and aging.
He draws on Client-Centered ideas to make space for each person's experience. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build practical skills.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills are part of his toolbox for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Sessions are geared toward clear, usable strategies.

He also addresses blended family stress, fatherhood adjustments, and midlife transitions when relevant. With nine years of experience, he combines practical guidance with empathy. He aims to help people reduce overwhelm, repair important connections, and regain more control over daily life.
The work tends to be collaborative and goal-focused, with observable steps and regular check-ins. People meet with him by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He conducts therapy in English and practices under his Florida LMHC credential.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the person’s concerns and helps them make sense of their experience, which can be useful for issues like life transitions and relationship distress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses. It often uses homework and skill practice, which fits well with video or messaging formats for between-session check-ins.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These techniques help people manage anger, intense feelings, and impulsive urges and can be taught and practiced in remote sessions.
Steven takes a collaborative approach to finding what works best. He discusses goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs together and adjusts methods over time. That means the choice of approaches grows out of shared decisions, not a fixed plan.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit for lower bandwidth or when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share short updates, work through immediate coping steps, or follow up on homework between meetings.
