About Steven

Steven Michael Fuller introduces himself simply as Mike to create a comfortable start for people seeking help. He is licensed in Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist (LMFT). He brings 45 years of experience across hospitals, schools, public health, universities, and independent practice.

He speaks English and welcomes international clients, and he often supports concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, sleeping problems, addictions, and parenting.

Background and approach

Mike aims to build a straightforward, respectful relationship where a person feels heard. He works to establish trust quickly so practical work can begin. That work focuses on where someone is emotionally now and small steps toward where they want to be.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered principles, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness strategies. In sessions he uses tools from these methods to address coping, self-esteem, life transitions, and career questions. He also offers guidance around communication, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.

Over decades he has worked with people at many life stages, from those early in life to older adults. His varied settings give him experience with medical, school, and community issues. He describes the therapeutic process as collaborative, using the client’s strengths to make practical changes.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values and actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-discovery and personal growth. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills to reduce stress and improve focus through simple, present-moment practices.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together they will try methods or combine techniques until a good fit is found, adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. These formats make it easier to connect from home, during breaks, or while traveling. They also allow consistent contact when life is busy, and let the therapist use the approaches named above in flexible ways to support coping, communication, and day-to-day change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
