Stephen School is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Stephen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks big issues into manageable tasks and helps reduce overwhelm. This is useful for depression, anxiety, and day-to-day stressors. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and building self-esteem by practicing new ways of responding and testing small changes between sessions. That work can help after trauma, abandonment, or relationship ruptures.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to early sessions. Together they will pick methods that fit the problem and the person, and adjust them as needed over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can help you weigh what will work best for your needs and routine.
