About Steve
Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 11 years of experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, and issues tied to sexual orientation and identity.
Steve listens and asks direct questions to help people build practical steps forward. He uses research-based approaches alongside his personal faith background. He says he is not there to judge or preach and notes experience with people hurt by the church.
In sessions he focuses on communication problems, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also addresses family of origin difficulties, parenting stresses, blended family concerns, and fatherhood issues. Steve works with people managing anger, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
He applies methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions aim to surface patterns, test small changes, and build skills that fit everyday life.
Steve offers services in English and Dutch. He practices in Georgia and does not work with international clients. To begin he asks prospective clients to use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can sort out their own priorities; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental listener and clearer thinking about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle relationship stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be useful for intense mood swings, anger, or impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steve will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That means trying strategies, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single technique.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and let people continue sessions while moving between school, work, or home obligations. It also allows using written exercises, thought records, and short skills practice between meetings to reinforce progress.
