About Steven
Dr. Steven Mclain is an LPC based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, and trauma. He also supports people dealing with relationship and parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and obsessive or phobic symptoms.
He speaks English and offers online formats including video, phone, chat, and text messaging. He describes a straightforward, person-focused style. Sessions emphasize listening, practical skills, and helping people identify their own solutions.
Background and approach
He favors approaches that address thoughts, behaviors, motivation, and the effects of trauma. Conversations tend to be direct and respectful, with an emphasis on real-life steps clients can try between sessions. Dr.
Mclain holds the LPC credential and has three years of experience in his current practice context. He previously worked in community mental health and residential settings and also taught psychology at the university level for many years. That background informs his interest in trauma, addictions, and long-term coping strategies.
In sessions he combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing, and he brings trauma-focused ideas when needed. This mix aims to help people change unhelpful thinking, build motivation for new habits, and process difficult experiences. Practical matters are kept simple: therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled anytime.
People in Texas can connect by scheduling after completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing from the offered session formats.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with structured strategies such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and anger.The therapist will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework feedback, and ongoing encouragement between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and keep progress moving forward.
