About Steven
Steven Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 14 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, depression, and life transitions. He also focuses on family of origin issues and related topics such as attachment and communication problems.
His approach draws on attachment-based work and client-centered methods. Sessions are conversational and practical. He uses cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Steven often helps people who grew up with confusing or rigid family roles. He talks through how those early patterns show up now in relationships, work, and parenting. He also addresses concerns like abandonment, commitment worries, body image, and caregiver stress.
In sessions he mixes direct problem-solving with emotion-focused listening. That can mean tracking thoughts and behaviors one week, then working on stronger emotional connection the next. He uses motivational interviewing techniques when people want to change habits or make big life moves.
He practices in New Jersey and conducts work in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How attachment and CBT translate to online sessions
Steven uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach focuses on connection, expectations, and how people respond when they feel upset. It can help when family roles or abandonment worries still influence adult behavior.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT work often includes small homework tasks and tracking thoughts between sessions. Mindfulness is used to help notice emotions and physical reactions in the moment, which supports both attachment work and CBT strategies.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Steven will discuss options and test what helps most based on problems, goals, and personal preferences. Together a client and he decide whether to emphasize attachment exploration, skill-building with CBT, or a mix of methods.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from familiar surroundings. A therapist will also suggest practical adjustments such as phone check-ins versus video work when that matches a client's needs.
