About Steve
Steve Hammond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 11 years of clinical experience. He focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. He also works with issues around relationships, parenting, addictions, and sexual orientation concerns.
Steve listens first and then helps people make a plan. He asks practical questions and helps clients identify steps they can try between sessions. He uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations rather than jargon.
His approach blends several well-researched methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense feelings and improving emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s perspective central during decision making.
Steve also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people facing change, such as cutting back on substance use. Narrative Therapy helps people look at how the stories they tell about themselves shape behavior. These methods are used together to match each client’s needs.
He practices in Georgia and works in English and Dutch. Steve says his faith informs his values, but he does not judge and aims to be mindful of people who have had difficult experiences with religious settings.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and values. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and supports their decisions. It helps when someone wants to be heard and make choices based on their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions involve noticing those patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing thought-challenging skills to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught in short practice exercises and repeated during sessions to build steady habits for reacting differently under stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on issues such as anger, anxiety, or relationship communication.
