About Steven
Steven Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. He practices in Utah and works primarily with adults ages 18 to 90. His caseload has included people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, career difficulties, and life changes.
He has worked with clients from both rural and more populated areas and brings that practical experience to sessions. He focuses on straightforward skill teaching so people can manage strong emotions in day-to-day life. He also helps clients talk through work stress, midlife transitions, and problems that affect mood and motivation.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and direct. He listens for patterns that feed frustration and impulsive reactions, then coaches on alternative ways to respond. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem solving and emotional regulation, and he supports clients learning new habits rather than just talking about them.
Steven checks messages several times a day Monday through Thursday and aims to reply promptly. Messages sent after 5:00 pm are usually answered the next business day. He asks prospective clients to be patient when he is in session with others.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. He notes that session billing varies by location and that the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Steven uses widely used evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills training for emotional regulation, which teaches concrete steps to notice triggers, slow responses, and practice calmer reactions. This is useful for anger, impulsivity, and stress-related reactions.Another frequent method emphasizes cognitive approaches that help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test them against real situations. This helps reduce feelings that fuel resentment, shame, or anxiety and supports clearer decision making in work and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will review your goals, life context, and preferred ways of working, then recommend techniques to try. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made based on what helps in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists often find video visits useful for interactive skills practice, and phone sessions can be a good fit for quick updates or when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help therapy integrate into regular routines without promising a particular format.
