About Steven
Dr. Steven Mclain focuses on parenting, family concerns, stress, anxiety, and related issues. He offers straightforward support for parents facing behavior challenges, relationship tensions at home, grief, and changes that affect daily family life.
Conversations are practical and aimed at small, manageable changes that families can try between sessions. Dr. Mclain uses methods that help people learn new skills and test them in real life.
He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones.
Background and approach
He also practices client-centered therapy, which means he listens closely and follows the client's priorities. His training is reflected in a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC. He works with common concerns such as addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, and obsessions or compulsions.
He is based in Texas and holds the TX LPC 16299 licensing detail. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted.
Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a parent or caregiver would use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The first meetings focus on understanding the family's priorities and trying small, practical steps to improve daily life.
Online methods and therapy approaches that fit family life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping parents find their own answers. The therapist creates space to talk through daily struggles and family priorities while following what matters most to the parent or caregiver.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors at home, which can help with anxiety, parenting stress, mood, and coping with change.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family to decide which approach or combination feels most useful. Sessions begin with the family's goals and adjust as needed based on what works in practice.
Online therapy makes it possible to meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility lets parents fit sessions around busy schedules, coordinate with other caregivers, and follow up between meetings through messaging. These formats support regular contact and make it easier to try new strategies in real life and bring observations back to the next session.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
