About Steve
Steve Scarborough is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. Steve also addresses concerns like ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, and career stress.
His sessions are direct and practical. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based work is used when patterns from childhood affect current relationships.
Steve aims to help people notice how family roles and early expectations shape choices now. He talks through communication habits, control and codependency patterns, and issues tied to fatherhood or caregiver stress. Sessions may include skills practice, problem solving, and review of patterns that repeat across relationships.
People who come for addiction or relapse concerns can expect conversations about motivation, coping plans, and practical steps. For mood, anxiety, or trauma-related issues the work balances symptom tools with looking at relational patterns that continue to cause distress.
Steve’s approach blends several evidence-based methods. He keeps the focus on concrete changes a person can make between sessions. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the fit feels.
Approaches used in teletherapy sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems where avoidance keeps someone stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can help when people repeat the same roles or expectations learned in their family of origin.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as issues change over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use video or phone formats when those options are offered, and people often find that remote sessions let them keep therapy alongside work, parenting, or caregiving commitments.
