About Steve
Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. He listens carefully, asks targeted questions, and helps people turn difficult feelings into practical next steps. He writes plainly and speaks directly, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for busy people.
He draws on an integrated approach that mixes several well-known practices with his personal faith. He says he does not judge or preach and tries to be especially compassionate toward people who have had painful experiences with religious communities. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes.
Steve works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around sexual orientation. He also helps those dealing with addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. Codependency and communication problems are listed among his additional focus areas.
In sessions he uses conversational techniques to identify patterns and build coping skills. He may introduce thought-focused exercises, behavioral tools, or guided storytelling to help people reframe difficult memories and choices. He encourages clients to set realistic goals and to practice new skills between meetings.
Steve practices in Georgia and sees adults who want a straightforward, values-aware approach. He offers care in English and Dutch and asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.
How specific approaches inform online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and on the client's own goals. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through decisions and painful feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect actions and mood and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency-related thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills, which can help with intense emotions and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress unfolds or priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them sustain momentum between sessions and practice skills in real life while still getting support from a licensed professional.
