Steven Marshall , LPC

Steven Marshall is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with eight years of experience in the helping professions and a master’s degree in counseling from Louisiana Tech earned in 2017. He practices from an integrative perspective, blending complementary methods to tailor care to each person's needs. His primary techniques are person-centered work and cognitive-behavioral strategies. Person-centered work emphasizes respect and unconditional positive regard to create a supportive therapeutic relationship, while cognitive-behavioral approaches examine patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build practical coping strategies and clearer understanding.

He has received training in trauma, anxiety, depression, and domestic violence and brings that experience to individual, couples, family, and group therapy settings. He sees clients across the lifespan, with the exception that he does not work individually with children under five years of age. His clinical toolbox includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), motivational interviewing, and interventions for preschool PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and relationship concerns. Telehealth is also part of his practice to increase access to care.

Steven focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He aims to collaborate with clients to identify goals and practical steps toward improved well-being, and he looks forward to supporting those seeking change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Steven Marshall integrates several evidence-based approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and relationship patterns to improve connection and communication within couples and families. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method designed to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and support processing after traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and then recommends or combines methods that best fit the individual. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy aligns with each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making sessions accessible via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to receive support from licensed professionals without travel, accommodate varied schedules, and maintain continuity of care across different circumstances, while preserving the therapeutic relationship and focus on progress.
