About Stephen

Stephen Wallace is a licensed professional counselor clinical (LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, depression, anxiety, and eating and food-related issues. He works with adults wrestling with grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. His tone is calm and steady, focused on practical steps and personal meaning.

With 16 years of experience, Stephen draws on a mix of talk-based methods to help clients notice patterns, try different behaviors, and find clearer direction. Sessions often involve looking at thoughts and habits, reflecting on values, and building small skills to manage difficult moments. He also brings attention to attachment concerns, codependency, and guilt or shame when those issues come up.

Stephen integrates clients' spiritual perspectives when relevant, offering faith-informed care alongside common therapeutic tools. That means he listens for how beliefs and values shape choices and supports people in aligning actions with what matters to them.

He uses client-centered listening to make space for what matters most to each person, and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try new approaches. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck.

People who choose Stephen can expect a collaborative process that balances practical problem-solving with deeper reflection. He aims to help clients build coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and move toward clearer goals over time.

How Stephen Uses Talk Therapy Online

Stephen commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people. Client-centered therapy means he listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and shapes sessions around the client's concerns and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to figure out what matters most, set realistic goals, and pick methods that fit the person's needs and values. If spiritual beliefs are important to the client, those are included in the conversation and planning.

Online therapy can help fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a workday break or between errands. It can also make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions. The specific session formats available are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking to ensure they fit your schedule and preferences.
