About Steven
Steven Vaughan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of experience. He works with adults who want to manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions address everyday problems and the feelings that keep them stuck.
He uses an insight-oriented cognitive behavioral approach to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. That often means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new ways of responding. He also draws on solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and on trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life.
Steven has experience across community settings and private practice, and he supervises newer counselors. That background shapes how he plans sessions and tracks progress. He balances practical skill-building with exploration of how past experiences influence present reactions.
Typical work may include learning techniques to lower intense arousal, practicing communication skills, and setting small experiments to change stressful routines. For someone whose anger shows up at work or home, he helps map triggers and rehearse different responses. He also supports people coping with grief, addiction, ADHD, and major life changes.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Steven commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that work well over distance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety, which can be practiced between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past experiences shape current reactions and includes pacing, grounding, and processing techniques to reduce intense responses.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. That approach is conversational and helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making different choices. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; he will work with each person to decide what fits their goals, preferences, and progress over time.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel time for people with tight schedules. Therapists can adapt exercises, assign short between-session tasks, and use brief skills practice to help manage anger in daily life.
