Steve Hammond

Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. He has over 11 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or major life changes. He listens first, asks practical questions, and works with each person to make a clear plan for next steps.

Steve blends research-based therapy methods with his personal faith. He says that faith is part of his life, and he aims to offer compassion rather than judgment. He also notes experience supporting people who have had painful church experiences and approaches those conversations gently.

In sessions he focuses on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, relationship strain, parenting stress, substance use, grief, and struggles with identity and self-esteem. He helps people facing trauma, abuse, or complicated family histories, and he will talk openly about sexual orientation and LGBT concerns when that is important to the person.

Steve uses practical tools from several therapy styles to help people change unhelpful patterns. He helps clients set small goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room for talking through feelings and making concrete plans.

He conducts work in English and Dutch and practices in Georgia. If someone is unsure whether his approach fits, he encourages completing a short questionnaire to match with him and then scheduling a first meeting to see how it feels.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person you are and on being heard. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; it can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills training for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which is useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods that might fit best. Sessions can mix approaches as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work from a quieter place or during a break. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing, homework, and skill practice to what works in a client’s daily routine.
