Steve Hammond

Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience based in Georgia. He listens carefully and helps people figure out practical next steps when life feels overwhelming. His approach aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for everyday problems.

He uses clear questions to help a person map what matters most and decide on manageable changes. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships, stress, anxiety, mood, and major life transitions. He also addresses issues like grief, addiction, and struggles with self-worth in plain, direct language.

Steve combines several well-established therapy methods with his personal values to shape how he works. He says his faith informs his care, but he does not judge or preach. He emphasizes respect and empathy for people who have been hurt by religious communities.

In sessions he helps people set small goals, practice new ways of communicating, and build skills to handle intense feelings. He can talk through parenting concerns, intimacy-related worries, and problems tied to family of origin or blended households. He also works on issues connected to adoption, attachment, and forgiveness.

People who prefer a warm, straightforward counselor may find his style a good fit. He offers support for coping with life changes and for those seeking practical strategies to reduce stress and regain a sense of direction.

How his approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs support making sense of feelings and deciding what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose which methods to use and adjust them as progress happens, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. They also let people keep appointments during relocation or while managing work and family demands. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above for remote work so clients still practice skills, try new communication strategies, and track progress between sessions.
