About Steven
Steven Shampain is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience. He makes space for different backgrounds and identities and is willing to share his own story when it helps build trust. He says he can talk about politics or religion if those topics affect someone's wellbeing.
If someone feels the fit, he invites them to reach out and begin talking about their mental health concerns.
Background and approach
His practice focuses on helping people understand why they think and act the way they do. He uses insight to guide changes and pairs that with hope and practical goal-setting. That approach is aimed at building resilience and creating steps toward clearer day-to-day choices.
Steven works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and addictions. He also helps people dealing with parenting strain, career choices, ADHD, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Additional areas of focus include codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, men's issues, and LGBT concerns.
In sessions he blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, Imago Relationship Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try new behaviors, and practice skills between meetings. He practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.
His stated approach is collaborative and forward-looking, with attention to both insight and small, practical changes.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and making steady life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying specific behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven will work with each person to see what methods fit their needs and goals. He combines insight work with practical exercises and adjusts methods over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or parenting demands and to keep momentum between sessions.
