About Steven
Steven Vaughan is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 22 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, and stress-related problems.
He uses an insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral approach combined with psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. That means he helps people notice the thoughts and patterns that keep them stuck, and then practices changes that are realistic for everyday life. Sessions balance understanding where patterns come from with concrete steps to try between meetings.
His background includes work in multiple clinical settings and in private practice, plus experience supervising newer counselors. That variety has exposed him to many presenting problems, including bipolar conditions, dissociation, caregiver stress, parenting questions, and concerns tied to family of origin issues. He talks through emotional barriers and everyday coping strategies rather than relying solely on theory.
In sessions he often mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic ideas, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused work when appropriate. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, focusing on small changes that add up. He also helps people manage career stress, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and guilt or shame.
People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.
