About Scott
Scott Verner is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns.
Scott uses practical, hands-on conversations to help people untangle day-to-day problems. He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Sessions aim to break down thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps rather than long abstract talks.
People meet him for help with things like panic, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and mood swings. He also supports those dealing with family conflict, communication problems, guilt or shame, and challenges linked to autism or intellectual disability. He works with issues across a wide range rather than focusing on one single diagnosis.
In sessions Scott often teaches specific skills - for handling strong emotions, managing unhelpful thinking, and setting small, achievable goals. He checks in on what is working and adjusts the plan when needed. The process is collaborative and focused on practical change.
Scott’s background includes clinical work with diverse adult clients over several years in Michigan. He offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and low mood. It often includes homework and short practical exercises between meetings.DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness methods support noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment, which can help with stress, panic, and emotional regulation.
Scott will work together with each client to pick the approaches that fit best. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on goals and daily life. Clients and the therapist make those decisions collaboratively rather than assuming one method up front.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins on hard days. Some formats also let people choose audio-only conversations when video is difficult or for lower data use. Ask about practical options when you match and schedule your first session.
