About Steven
Steven Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. He brings eight years of experience in counseling and aims to create a respectful, straightforward space for people to talk through problems and find workable steps forward.
Steven trained at Louisiana Tech, earning a master’s degree in counseling in 2017, and has since worked in a range of settings.
Background and approach
He combines common-sense, person-centered listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive-behavioral approaches. That means he pays attention to each person’s story while also looking at thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. He also uses approaches targeted at trauma and emotional connection.
EMDR is included among his methods for processing traumatic memories, and emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationship patterns and bonding. Sessions may include teaching coping skills, practicing new ways of responding, and planning small experiments to build confidence. Steven has experience with ADHD, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue.
He runs individual and group work, and he supports people navigating life changes and coaching-style goals. He does not work individually with children under five years of age. Steven offers sessions in English and is available to work with international clients.
He uses several online formats so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.
How Steven Uses CBT, EFT, and EMDR Online
Steven commonly blends cognitive-behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused work with trauma-informed tools to address anxiety, stress, relationships, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how people relate in close relationships and helps identify underlying emotions that shape interactions and attachment. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, supports processing of distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Steven will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods so they match the client’s needs. The process is collaborative and can include checking progress and shifting strategies over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video lets people work face-to-face for longer sessions and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions or suit people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules.
