About Steve
Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 11 years of experience. He offers one-to-one therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and challenges tied to sexual orientation. Sessions are conducted in English and Dutch.
He describes a straightforward, question-driven approach. He listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients outline steps they can take. He combines research-based psychotherapy methods with personal faith influences, and he says this informs how he frames conversations for people who feel hurt by religious communities.
Steve often supports people dealing with communication problems, commitment and control issues, and complications from divorce or blended households. He also works with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care topics, and fatherhood-related issues. He includes work on coping skills for compassion fatigue and life transitions.
In sessions he may use client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thoughts and behaviors to change. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas can appear when people want to revisit how their story is told and what motivates change. Dialectical behavior ideas are part of his toolbox for emotional regulation and impulse control.
Steve says he is nonjudgmental and aims to create a direct, practical space for planning next steps. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online sign-up flow. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective. It emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters and make choices. This approach fits concerns like relationship stress and questions about sexual orientation because it starts with the person's own experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing smallbehavioral experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas offer practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive actions. Simple skills training in emotion regulation and distress tolerance can help with anger, addiction urges, and intense mood swings.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches suit their goals and comfort level. That decision can change as progress is made, and sessions may blend techniques to match what the client needs.
