Steven Marshall , LPC

Steven Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in counseling from Louisiana Tech, completed in 2017, and eight years of experience in the helping professions. He draws on an integrative approach to therapy, blending person-centered care with cognitive-behavioral techniques to tailor treatment to each individual. The person-centered stance emphasizes respect and unconditional positive regard, creating a supportive environment, while cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying and reshaping patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical solutions.

He has received specialized training in trauma, anxiety, depression, and domestic violence, and he brings that expertise to work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. Steven uses evidence-informed methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as part of his clinical toolkit. He also employs motivational interviewing techniques and has experience addressing preschool PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, and addiction-related issues.

Steven sees clients across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, with the exception that he does not provide individual therapy to children under five years of age. He offers telehealth services and approaches each case with a mix of clinical skill and compassionate coaching to support coping, growth, and improved well-being.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Remote Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and attachment patterns to improve intimacy, communication, and relationship connections. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing of trauma memories by integrating bilateral stimulation with guided recall, which can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Steven collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting methods over time so the chosen strategies fit the client’s situation and pace. This collaborative process helps determine whether CBT, EFT, EMDR, or a combination will be most useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or through text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support consistent engagement and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions.
