About Steven
Steven Clarke is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship strain, and anger. He also supports concerns such as career strain, parenting challenges, and changes linked to midlife.
He uses straightforward, practical conversations to address problems people bring in. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep frustration or resentment active. He helps clients try new ways of communicating and coping that reduce repeated outbursts or simmering anger.
Steven draws from client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that feed stress or anger. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills to teach concrete strategies for emotion regulation.
In practice he often helps people manage transitions such as divorce, fatherhood changes, or career shifts. He also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, and aging-related concerns. He mentions work with men and older adults in his background.
His style is direct and practical. Sessions tend to emphasize action steps, communication skills, and problem-solving so clients can test changes between meetings. To begin, he asks people to describe their most pressing concerns and a few goals they want to work toward.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; online sessions can keep that same conversational focus while identifying what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear exercises to try between sessions, which works well over video or phone when steps and worksheets can be shared. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skill training in managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; those skills can be practised and reviewed remotely with role-plays or written homework.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust plans as those needs change. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions practical and goal-focused.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, use lower-bandwidth options like phone calls when needed, or focus on worksheets and skill practice between meetings. These practical benefits can help people try new ways of handling anger and stress without rearranging their whole schedule.
