About Steven

Steven Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He listens without judgment and works with each person to figure out practical next steps. Steven frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on building skills that matter in daily life.

He draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for people working through traumatic memories. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions follow the goals the person brings.

Steven adapts the pace and techniques so the work fits each person’s situation. He pays attention to concrete problems like sleep, eating, parenting stress, and workplace strain while also addressing underlying patterns such as codependency or avoidance. Over eight years of practice, he has supported people through life changes, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

He also helps clients with issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns. The overall style is direct, respectful, and practical. Steven offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit their timing and needs.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and respected while you talk through what matters most. It helps people clarify goals and feel supported while trying changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to work through distressing memories and can be adapted to remote sessions for people processing trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a plan. That plan can mix approaches and change over time as progress is made, so decisions are collaborative rather than fixed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent touchpoints during busy weeks. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
