About Stephen
Stephen Wallace is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or facing depression. He also works with those dealing with grief, addiction, parenting concerns, and other life changes.
The opening goal is to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for worried parents and adults. He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations usually start with what feels most urgent and concrete in daily life.
Background and approach
Stephen draws on client-centered work to listen and understand each person's priorities. He also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different, real-world coping strategies. Over 16 years he has supported people through trauma, relationship and family problems, intimacy and fatherhood issues, and work-related stress.
His background includes work with attachment, codependency, eating and control issues, and aging-related concerns. He pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and daily routines. Sessions aim to build skills for handling anger, guilt, shame, and communication breakdowns.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone is trying to change addictive behaviors or start new routines. Mindfulness-based practices are introduced when slowing down and noticing feelings helps reduce reactivity. Language of care is English and all sessions are provided within Ohio.
The therapist holds license number OH LPCC E.1000187. Prospective clients begin by matching and scheduling a session that fits their needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Sessions begin by hearing what matters most and building from there, which works well over video or phone when life is busy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves practicing new ways of thinking and small behavioral experiments that can be discussed and tracked during online sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is ready to change habits like addictive behaviors. It uses questions and reflection to boost motivation and set achievable steps that are reviewed remotely.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. If one way isn’t helping, adjustments are made together until a better fit is found.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and adults. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can help between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real time, while fitting therapy into an unpredictable schedule.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
