Steven Marshall

Steven Marshall is an LPC who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday struggles. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people facing anger, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship strain, and related concerns.

He earned a master’s degree in counseling from Louisiana Tech in 2017 and brings eight years of practice in the helping professions. He sees people from different backgrounds and ages, with the single exception that he does not offer individual work for children under five.

His approach combines person-centered care with cognitive-behavioral methods. In session he listens without judgment, and then helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small, practical changes. He also uses trauma-informed tools when past hurt is part of the problem.

Steven provides individual work and also runs couples, family, and group sessions. He lists approaches such as EMDR, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and CBT among the tools he uses to address trauma, relationship issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and addictive behaviors.

People who come for help can expect plain language, steady support, and a focus on skills they can use between sessions. He is based in Louisiana and works with English-speaking clients, including some who live outside the United States.

To begin, he guides each person through a brief match process and schedules sessions that fit the client’s needs and rhythms.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions typically involve talking through thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or angry reactions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses in relationships and learning new ways of connecting. In remote sessions this work can focus on communication patterns and safe practice of different ways to express feelings with a partner or family member.

EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing. When used remotely a therapist adapts techniques to the online setting, working carefully with pacing and grounding before addressing traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods across sessions. Clients often try one approach and adjust over time based on what helps.

If you plan to work online, confirm the exact session options before booking. The biography notes individual, couples, family, and group formats are used in his practice, so check which of those are available for remote work. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping the focus on practical change.
