About Steve
Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. He brings 11 years of experience to sessions and focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of concerns. He aims to listen closely, ask practical questions, and help people plan concrete steps forward.
Steve uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches and his personal values to shape therapy. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to uncover patterns of thinking that get in the way, and dialectical skills to teach emotional regulation when feelings become overwhelming.
People come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He also addresses relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse. Additional focuses include attachment and family-of-origin issues, body image, codependency, and fatherhood matters.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Steve listens first, then helps people choose small experiments or new behaviors to try between meetings. He says he won't judge or preach and that he wants therapy to feel safe for those who've felt hurt by faith communities.
Steve offers services in English and Dutch. He practices in Georgia and asks prospective clients to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How key approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what he hears so clients can clarify their own goals and priorities. This approach helps when people need a calm place to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Steve helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and suggests practical experiments to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who get overwhelmed by strong feelings or who struggle with conflict and intense reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, with adjustments based on what works in practice.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help clients maintain steady progress while balancing daily responsibilities.
