About Steven
Steven Clarke is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. He works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, grief, and life transitions. He also focuses on issues that stem from one’s family of origin and on challenges tied to fatherhood and midlife change.
Steven uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He talks with clients about communication patterns learned in childhood and how those show up now. He helps people name unhelpful habits and practice different ways of relating and coping. Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation, problem solving, and clearer communication.
He draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to address things like addiction, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and questions about life purpose. Steven blends talk work with exercises that help people make small changes between sessions.
Steven has particular experience supporting men and older adults through divorce, caregiving stress, and adjustments in fatherhood. He also helps people dealing with blended family dynamics, caregiving burden, and grief. The focus is on practical steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Steven often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s perspective and on building a collaborative conversation. This approach helps when people want to be heard and to sort out values, identity, or relationship goals.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces practical exercises to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills appear in his work as well, especially for emotion regulation and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when strong moods or conflict make daily life harder.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That makes it easier to focus on realistic steps and clear skills that fit the person’s needs.
