About Serena
Serena Steuber is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who supports people managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She also focuses on LGBT concerns, relationship and family struggles, and challenges common to young adults. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients find tools that fit daily life.
Serena draws on five years of counseling experience that includes time in school settings and educational roles.
Background and approach
That background shaped her ability to talk through school-related stress and behavior concerns. She values working at the client’s pace and meeting them where they are. Sessions often emphasize building mindfulness skills and practical coping strategies.
Serena helps people develop habits they can use between sessions to handle strong emotions and recurring worries. She also addresses self-image and self-esteem with concrete exercises and reflective conversation. Her approach adapts to each person’s needs rather than following a single method.
Serena aims to create a calm, focused space where clients can set small goals and track progress. She encourages correlation between what comes up in sessions and real-life situations. People who choose Serena can expect a collaborative process that combines listening with actionable steps.
She welcomes questions about how therapy will work and discusses options for session formats and pacing during the first meetings.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Serena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One approach emphasizes mindfulness training to help people notice and manage intense thoughts and feelings in the moment; this works well for anxiety and stress. Another approach centers on building coping strategies and behavioral skills to reduce symptoms of depression and improve daily functioning; it involves breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practicing new behaviors between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Serena will talk with clients about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on how the client responds.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and run exercises in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, on-the-go options for brief updates and between-session support. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits aren’t possible.
