About Steven
Steven Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.
He uses straightforward talk therapy and evidence-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and recurring patterns. Sessions focus on understanding what fuels anger and frustration, learning concrete skills to respond differently, and practicing new habits between meetings. Steven draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and on CBT and DBT skills for practical behavior and emotion work.
EMDR and mindfulness methods are also part of his toolbox for people coping with trauma, intrusive memories, or ongoing stress. He will discuss these options and explain what each approach involves. Expect plain language, specific exercises, and step-by-step skill building rather than vague explanations.
Steven frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. He talks through goals, tracks progress, and adjusts plans when something is not helping. He also integrates coaching-style feedback for people wanting clearer steps toward life and career changes.
Sessions are offered in English and follow Missouri practice standards. If you want to explore working on anger, disruptive stress, or related concerns, follow the site’s process to view online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The therapist follows the person’s lead, clarifies concerns, and helps them name what matters most. This approach can help people feel understood and organize their thoughts about anger and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps. Sessions include practical exercises to test beliefs, change reactions, and build calmer responses to triggers. CBT is useful for workplace frustration, rumination, and patterns that sustain anger.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It teaches ways to notice rising anger, use short-term coping tools, and practice opposite actions over time. DBT skills are often helpful when emotions feel intense or swing quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help choose techniques that match the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets therapists use video or phone-based teaching of coping skills and practical homework between meetings.
