Steven Clarke, LMHC

Steven Clarke is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions including divorce and midlife changes. He also notes work with fatherhood adjustments and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity.

Clients can expect practical, direct conversations about everyday problems. He uses goal-focused work to address communication problems, coping with change, and workplace stress. Sessions often include building concrete coping skills and clearer ways to talk about difficult topics.

Background and approach: Clarke combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies to help people notice patterns and try new responses. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing to support decision making and emotion regulation. These approaches are used to tackle anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship challenges.

He describes his work as straightforward and focused on skills people can use outside sessions. That includes planning steps for difficult conversations, managing anger, and handling blended family issues that come up when households merge. He pays attention to family of origin dynamics and caregiver stress when those affect current relationships.

Clarke practices in Florida and works in English. He frames therapy as practical problem solving so people can test new ways of coping and communication in daily life.
