About Steven
Steven Forsyth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, grief, depression, and a range of other concerns including family of origin issues and ADHD. Steven also helps people with intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and life changes such as separation and caregiving challenges.
He draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. His background includes long experience with cognitive behavioral ideas and later interest in motivational interviewing and relapse prevention. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices in sessions.
Steven began his counseling work after entering recovery himself, and that lived experience shaped his early focus on addictions and relapse prevention. Over time he added narrative and transactional approaches and more recent work with EMDR. He keeps practical, behavior-focused tools in the mix so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
In a session he aims to talk through concrete patterns that keep showing up from family life or past decisions. Conversations often look at how thoughts and actions keep repeating and what small changes might reduce stress or improve relationships. He also supports people working through grief, abandonment, and codependency issues.
People can expect straightforward discussions about goals and steps to reach them. Steven uses methods that include ACT, client-centered listening, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to address symptoms and habits. He works with adults on real-life problems and helps them find practical strategies they can use day to day.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions consistent with those values. It can help people struggling with anxiety, avoidance, or stuck habits to build workable routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach for processing distressing memories and reducing the emotional charge around them; it can help people with trauma-related reactions and persistent painful memories.Picking the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then he will suggest one or more approaches and adapt them as the client provides feedback, so decisions are collaborative rather than fixed up front.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when that suits a schedule. Licensed professionals can use talks, skill coaching, and structured exercises remotely, and those same techniques often move smoothly between in-person and online settings.
