About Steven
Steven Hahne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people cope with stress and anxiety. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulties with motivation. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to meet people where they are.
Steven uses clear, practical conversation to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness exercises.
Background and approach
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to cause distress. He keeps sessions goal-oriented and concrete. That might mean practicing a breathing or grounding exercise, trying a new behavior between visits, or reframing a thought that feeds anxiety.
Steven tailors the pace to each person and checks in about what is working. Steven has three years of experience as an LPC. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
He aims to create a space where difficult topics can be named and attended to without judgment. People often reach out for help with panic, sleep trouble, grief, parenting strain, or career stress. He also works with issues like addictions, intimacy concerns, and social anxiety.
When trauma is present, he combines trauma-focused techniques with skills to manage symptoms and build resilience.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Steven often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and depression. In plain terms, CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches concrete practices you can use between sessions. He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which focuses on present-moment awareness and simple breathing or grounding techniques. These skills can reduce reactivity and help with sleep problems, panic, and stress management. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try and adjust them as needed. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping prompts, or when ongoing written reflection is helpful. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.Questions people ask
