About Steven
Steven Marshall is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping families and parents navigate stressful times. He writes plainly, listens closely, and works to make therapy practical for everyday life. Many parents come to him worried about sleep, behavior, relationships, or big mood changes in their teens.
He aims to create simple plans that fit into family routines and parenting responsibilities. Steven earned a master’s degree in counseling from Louisiana Tech in 2017 and has eight years of experience in the helping professions.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches so sessions can be adjusted to each family’s needs. Sessions have been offered in individual, couples, family, and group formats, and he does not see children under five alone. In sessions he combines person-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
He also has training in trauma work and provides EMDR for people processing traumatic memories. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of his approach when couples or family emotions drive the presenting problems. Steven has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, bipolar mood challenges, addiction concerns, ADHD, sleep problems, and parenting struggles.
He also supports LGBT clients and those coping with life changes or compassion fatigue. He practices in Louisiana and works with clients in English. Parents who prefer remote care can schedule video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging sessions.
He aims to help families turn small changes into routines that reduce daily stress and improve relationships.
How EMDR, EFT, and CBT can work online for families
EMDR helps people process upsetting memories by guiding attention while they recall difficult events. It can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and is often used when trauma or abuse affects daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional patterns between partners or family members and helps people talk about feelings in a way that improves connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Steven will talk with each family about goals and preferences and try methods until they find what fits. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let a therapist observe interactions and coach in real time, while phone, live chat, or text messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and parenting routines and to keep momentum as families make changes.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
