About Steven
Steven Shampain is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. He offers a calm, direct approach and invites people to bring their whole selves to sessions. He says everyone has space at his table and is willing to share parts of his own story to build trust when that helps.
He focuses on stress and anxiety alongside depression and life changes.
Background and approach
He also helps people facing addictions, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Relationship concerns, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and issues affecting LGBT clients are also part of his work. In sessions he looks for the reasons behind patterns of thought and behavior.
That insight is used alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches. He helps clients notice unhelpful habits, try different actions, and set small goals that fit daily life. Steven favors clear, hopeful conversations.
He invites frank discussion about topics that matter, including religion or politics when those things affect wellbeing. He aims to help people find agency and build resilience through steady, forward-focused steps. He offers sessions to people in Tennessee and conducts work in English.
People connect with him through an online intake process, then schedule video, phone, chat, or text-based sessions. Steven describes his role as a listening partner who helps people work through hard moments and move toward better functioning.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-based steps even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and testing out new behaviors to change outcomes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist reflects and listens so clients can find their own solutions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Steven will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining insight-focused conversation with practical CBT exercises or mindfulness practices based on how someone reacts to different techniques.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets for face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation, while phone calls are useful when bandwidth or comfort on camera is an issue. Chat and messaging can support short check-ins, homework, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while still working toward meaningful change.
