Steven Michael Fuller , LMFT, LPC

Steven Michael Fuller is a licensed counselor practicing in Oklahoma with credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist (LMFT). He has worked across a range of settings including hospitals, a youth service agency, a university as an adjunct professor, a health department, public schools, and private practice, which has given him experience helping people from many walks of life and across the lifespan from young children to older adults.

Fuller has treated a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, family of origin issues, attention and impulsivity challenges, grief and loss, and many other difficulties people face. He approaches each person as an individual and aims to use their strengths to support meaningful change and growth. Over years of practice he has continued to refine his skills by learning from every person he has worked with.

At the start of therapy Fuller focuses on building a relationship in which a person feels heard, understood, respected, and valued. When trust and rapport develop, he collaborates with clients to clarify where they are emotionally, where they want to be, and practical steps that draw on their existing resources. He views the therapeutic process as a partnership aimed at helping people move from places that are not working toward lives that better reflect their goals and values.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Fuller uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking practical steps based on their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by encouraging actions that align with what matters most to the individual.

Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach Fuller employs. This method emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their experience at their own pace and build greater self-understanding.

Hypnotherapy is also part of his toolkit and involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support behavior change, stress reduction, or sleep-related concerns. It can be combined with other approaches when appropriate.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Fuller works with each person to identify the techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
