About Steven
Steven Shampain is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, practicing in Tennessee with ten years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and related life changes. He also includes areas such as parenting, grief, career stress, self-esteem, ADHD, codependency, substance misuse, LGBT issues, and men’s concerns.
He describes an insight-driven approach that looks at the reasons behind thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on understanding the "why" as a step toward making different choices. He favors a forward-looking stance that helps people notice options and take practical steps toward goals.
Steven uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Mindfulness work in his practice. Those methods are used to help with coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, managing strong feelings such as anger, and improving relationships. He also uses motivational strategies to support change when substance use or addictive patterns are present.
He is open about discussing identity, politics, or religion when those topics affect a person’s wellbeing. He may share aspects of his own experience when it helps build understanding and trust. The overall tone in sessions is direct and practical, aimed at helping people find workable steps forward.

How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take actions that matter despite uncomfortable feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and persistent anger that gets in the way of chosen goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is useful for anger linked to automatic thoughts, workplace frustration, and mood-related habits.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to clarify what matters most. This approach supports people who need a steady, understanding listener while they sort through difficult feelings and decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying ACT techniques one week and CBT strategies the next.
The biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use mindfulness exercises or homework between meetings to practice new ways of handling anger.
