About Stephen
Stephen Herz is a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida who focuses on stress and anxiety among other concerns. He brings 11 years of experience helping people sort through difficult feelings and regain more control in daily life. He keeps sessions practical and straightforward.
Stephen listens first, then helps people name unhelpful patterns. He mixes conversation with clear steps people can try between sessions to see real change. His work often centers on addictions, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Veteran and armed forces issues and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use are part of his focus areas. Stephen draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.
He adapts these approaches to the person in front of him rather than using a single formula. Sessions move at a pace the person is comfortable with and emphasize practical skills. Stephen earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Florida, and holds the LMHC credential.
He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Stephen often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and offers clear strategies to practice between sessions.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and building trust so people feel heard. This approach helps individuals set their own goals and move at a comfortable pace during the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for detailed conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well for people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
