About Steve
Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. He practices in Georgia and offers straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He focuses on listening first.
Conversations start with what feels most urgent to the person in front of him. Then he helps people break problems into small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Steve uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other approaches to shape conversations.
Background and approach
He aims to make therapy feel like a clear, honest conversation rather than a lecture. Faith is part of his life and informs his values, but he does not preach and works to respect each persons beliefs. Common concerns he addresses include depression, grief, addiction, trauma and issues related to sexual orientation.
He also helps with self-esteem, communication problems, anger, and coping with major life changes. He is comfortable discussing sensitive topics and supporting people who feel hurt by past religious experiences. Sessions are available in English and Dutch, and he offers multiple online formats.
People who prefer a collaborative, practical style may find his approach fits well. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals before moving to action. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they decide whether to prioritize practical skill-building, deeper reflection, or a mix of methods and then check in to adjust as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options help fit counseling into busy schedules and different daily routines.
